Emirates will launch third daily flights to both Dublin and Mauritius from the upcoming winter season, expanding capacity and connectivity on two high-demand, long-haul routes. From 26 October, Emirates will operate 21 weekly flights between Dubai and Dublin using Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in a three-class configuration.
The new Dublin service (EK165/166) will depart Dubai at 02:10 and arrive in Dublin at 06:25, complementing existing afternoon and evening departures, and will also increase bellyhold cargo capacity from Ireland.
From 1 December, Emirates adds a third daily frequency to Mauritius (EK709/710), deploying a Boeing 777-300ER alongside the existing two daily A380 services (EK701/702, EK703/704). The Dubai–Mauritius route will now offer more than 30% additional seats, with EK709 departing Dubai at 06:55 and arriving in Mauritius at 13:40, while EK710 departs Mauritius at 18:30 and arrives in Dubai at 01:10 the next day.
The move, supported by a renewed codeshare with Air Mauritius, aims to improve connectivity for travelers from the Middle East, Europe, the Americas, and select Asian markets, with Emirates targeting promotion in Japan, China, Malaysia, and Hong Kong.
Emirates remains the only airline serving Mauritius with both A380 and 777-300ER aircraft, and First Class cabins.
