DUBAI- Emirates (EK) will deploy its Airbus A350 on daily flights between Dubai (DXB) and Mauritius (MRU) from November 1, 2026, replacing the Boeing 777 currently operating the route.
The 298-seat aircraft will introduce Emirates’ latest Business Class and Premium Economy cabins to the service, while the airline will continue operating two additional daily flights to Mauritius with its Airbus A380 fleet.
Emirates A350 Replaces 777 on Mauritius Route
Emirates will introduce the Airbus A350 on flights EK709 and EK710, connecting Dubai International Airport (DXB) with Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU) in Mauritius. The aircraft will operate daily in both directions from November 1, 2026.
The A350 will feature a three-class cabin configuration with 298 seats, including 32 Business Class seats, 28 Premium Economy seats and 238 Economy Class seats. The deployment will bring Emirates’ latest-generation Business Class product to the route, alongside its established Premium Economy offering and updated onboard technology.
Emirates EK709 and EK710 Flight Schedule
Emirates will maintain the following daily schedule for its A350 service between Dubai and Mauritius. All times are local.
| Flight | Route | Departure | Arrival |
|---|---|---|---|
| EK709 | Dubai (DXB) to Mauritius (MRU) | 07:55 | 14:40 |
| EK710 | Mauritius (MRU) to Dubai (DXB) | 18:30 | 01:10 next day |
The aircraft change applies to EK709 and EK710. Emirates will retain its other two daily services to Mauritius using the Airbus A380, giving the island three daily flights to and from Dubai.
Both A380 services also feature Premium Economy cabins. Passengers travelling through Dubai can connect to more than 70 destinations across Europe, Asia and the Americas, extending the importance of the Mauritius route beyond point-to-point travel.
Oomar Ramtoola, Emirates’ Manager for the Indian Ocean Islands, said the aircraft deployment represents another step in the airline’s investment in Mauritius. He highlighted the introduction of the latest Business Class experience, Premium Economy and new onboard technologies as part of the upgrade.
