Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>As soon as less than two months away, the UAE-based airline will service Mauritius from its hub \u2013 Dubai International Airport \u2013 three times a day, an increase of one flight.<\/p>\n

The increase is the result of the UAE carrier noticing high demand for the island destination. The East African country is a popular destination known for its beaches, lagoons and reefs.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unique, too, as the only country in Africa where Hinduism is the most practised religion. It is also a major tourist destination \u2013 its tourism sector is the 4th contributor to the island nation\u2019s economy. In 2019, the island welcomed 1,450,000 tourists \u2013 an impressive 3.6% increase compared to the previous year. Emirates will utilise Boeing 777s<\/p>\n

Emirates\u2019 new additional service will be operated by a Boeing 777-300ER, while the other two are served by the A380.<\/p>\n

Flight time to and from Mauritius is 6 hours and 35 minutes, and the first flight from Dubai International is scheduled to depart on 1st October at 22:10 local time, while the first flight from Mauritius back to Dubai is scheduled to depart on 2nd October at 6:30 local time.<\/p>\n

When the latest flight to Mauritius joins the preexisting two daily flights, it will join 23 other Emirates routes with three daily flights or more. Currently, only Emirates and Saudia (the Jeddah-based flag carrier of Saudi Arabia) operate services from the Middle East to Mauritius. Saudia offers three flights a week from Jeddah to the East African country (with its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners) and has done so since September 2017.<\/p>\n

Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways have opted not to provide connections to the island country.<\/p>\n
