Emirates launches Mauritius service

Emirates has launched flights out of Dubai to Mauritius.

There will be three flights per week operated by a two-cabin Airbus A330-200, with 34 business and 251 economy class seats.

Passengers flying into Dubai from Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester and Birmingham have a wait of about two and a half hours, before flying onto Mauritius.

Flights depart Dubai every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday at 0230, and arrive in Mauritius at 0900. The return flights leave Mauritius on the same days at 2330, and arrive in Dubai at 0600 the following day.
