The Dubai-based carrier will operate two flights per week to the island-nation using Boeing 777-300ER aircraft up to 1 August when Emirates’ popular Airbus A380 will begin flying the route.
Emirates’ flights to Mauritius will operate on Thursdays and Saturdays. Flight EK701 is timed to depart Dubai at 02:35 and arrive in Mauritius at 09:10.
The return flight, EK704, will operate on Fridays and Sundays, departing Mauritius at 23:10 and arriving in Dubai at 05:45 the following day.
From 15 July to 30 September 2021, Mauritius will open its borders to vaccinated passengers and Mauritian nationals. Fully vaccinated travellers can enjoy a “hotel holiday” and choose from an extensive list of approved hotels across the island.
From 1 October, Mauritius is planning to welcome fully vaccinated travellers who can explore the island freely with no restrictions.
Emirates has resumed passenger services to over 120 destinations and by the end of July will have recovered close to 90% of its pre-pandemic network.
The Emirates A380 experience remains a favourite amongst travellers for its spacious and comfortable cabins and the airline has said that it will continue to expand its deployment in line with the gradual return in demand.
Emirates currently operates the A380 to New York JFK, Los Angeles, Washington D.C, Toronto, Paris, Munich, Vienna, Frankfurt, Moscow, Amman, Cairo, and Guangzhou.
