The aircraft wey dem announce get 298 seats across three cabins: 32 Business, 28 Premium Economy and 238 Economy. The airline also say e dey run two other daily Mauritius services with A380 aircraft. So this A350 announcement concern one flight pair inside the service wey already dey.
According to the timetable, EK709 leave Dubai 07:55 and reach Mauritius 14:40. Return flight EK710 leave Mauritius 18:30 and arrive Dubai 01:10 the next day. All the times na local time. That next-day arrival matter if person dey plan another flight or arrange airport pickup.
The airline describe the change as investment for Mauritius service, with updated Business Class and Premium Economy. That description explain the business reason for the switch. E no tell us how many extra visitors the island go receive or the fare wey one passenger go pay for one date.
For travellers, useful comparison na the real flights and prices available for their journey. Three daily services no mean say all of dem get the same aircraft, seat or departure time. Person wey choose because of cabin feature suppose check the aircraft for that flight and any connecting flight.
