Emirates Renews Partnership with Air Mauritius to Boost Connectivity and Tourism
Emirates and Air Mauritius have renewed their longstanding strategic partnership, reinforcing their commitment to expand travel options, support tourism, and strengthen economic ties through enhanced codeshare and cooperation agreements.
The renewed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed in Mauritius, builds on a collaboration first launched in 2003 and last expanded in 2013. It includes reciprocal codesharing on select routes, joint frequent flyer benefits, and integrated cargo handling services.
Under the agreement, Air Mauritius will place its code on Emirates-operated flights to six major cities including Cairo, Colombo, and Jeddah, while Emirates will codeshare on Air Mauritius' service to Antananarivo. Both carriers will also offer passengers seamless ticketing and reward redemption across their respective networks.
Adnan Kazim, Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer at Emirates, said the partnership continues to deliver tangible value to Mauritius, with contributions to tourism, employment, and global connectivity. Since 2002, Emirates has flown over 8.8 million passengers and moved 126,000 tonnes of cargo to and from the island.
The partnership has helped generate an estimated USD900 million in annual benefits for Mauritius, including USD264 million in tourism receipts and the creation of 3,600 jobs. Emirates currently operates 14 weekly A380 flights between Dubai and Mauritius, the only airline offering First Class service on the route.
Air Mauritius Chairman Kremchand Beegoo called the renewal a significant milestone that deepens the airlines' complementarity and enhances access for Mauritian travelers to Emirates' extensive global network of over 128 destinations.
With 164 commercial cooperation agreements worldwide, Emirates continues to expand its reach, reinforcing its role as a key player in global aviation partnerships.

Dubai Metro Blue Line: What world's highest station by Burj Khalifa architects will look like
UAE is a land of the world's 'mosts' — the fastest, the biggest, the richest. And now the Emirates has added another crown to its urban landscape, the world's highest metro station under the Blue Line network. The Dubai Ruler, a visionary long associated with the Metro's history, laid the foundation stone of the first station of the new network — Emaar Properties — set to begin on September 9, 2029, once again choosing the iconic number nine. The station's design looks futuristic, to say the least. It involves a portal-like structure, invoking a literal 'gateway to the future', part of Dubai's vision. Design masterminds A natural first question is: Who designed the world's highest station? On Monday, it was revealed to be none other than the creative minds behind the world's tallest tower, Burj Khalifa. The renowned American architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) have also designed the Olympic Tower in New York, and the Sears Tower in Chicago. Standing at a height of 74 metres (242 ft), the station has 3 levels, and includes layers of stunning architecture. At first glance, its towering walls rise to the skies while remaining firmly rooted in Earth, with warm, natural tones and textures. The ceilings have glass panels, allowing sunlight to stream into the platforms and the lobby. The platform seems to emerge from the walls of the station, while a pedestrian bridge connects passengers to the metro line. Natural stone and metals blend together in classic Dubai fashion, embracing tradition and modernity. Jura limestone bronze metal will form the wall panels, while the floor tiles are made of granite. The Blue Line's design was earlier unveiled in October 2024, when a station model showcased a large, oval-shaped design arching over the tracks, different from the fully-enclosed stations that are currently in use in the Red and Green Lines. The current design is starkly different from the earlier model, constructing large vertical walls around the platform, while also retaining the typical metro terminal arch used in the Red and Green Lines. The station stands as a mini-community, with electric vehicle charging points, spaces for drop off, and parking for users surrounded by lush green spaces. Set to transport 160,000 passengers per day by 2040, the station will take commuters to their destination, and a little closer to the future.
