Malaysian Airlines...new codeshare on Dubai route

Malaysia Airlines, Emirates in codeshare on Dubai services

SEPANG, January 14, 2016

Malaysia Airlines will be suspending its Kuala Lumpur-Dubai route on February 15 and will continue to serve the Gulf region through a codeshare on Emirates airline’s four times daily service to Dubai from the Malaysian capital.

The codeshare announcement follows a partnership agreement signed between Malaysia Airlines and Emirates in December 2015.

The flights offered by Malaysia Airlines from Kuala Lumpur to Dubai will therefore increase from one to four daily, although all flights will be operated on Emirates aircraft. The new codeshare will enable customers’ seamless and convenient connections to Emirates’ more than 90 global destinations.  .

The partnership will also see the Malaysia Airlines and Emirates frequent flyer programmes aligned, giving customers expanded opportunities to earn and redeem points. The details of the benefits will be shared progressively over the next quarter.

The service to Dubai will be operated three times a day on the Boeing 777 and once a day on the Airbus 380.

Malaysia Airlines’ chief executive officer Christoph Mueller said: “The partnership allows our guests to travel seamlessly to major cities around the world whilst enjoying increased loyalty reward through our loyalty programmes. We will be able to offer Kuala Lumpur as a hub to connect to South East Asia and Dubai for connections to Europe, Middle East and North and South Africa. This arrangement will offer guests a wider network of destinations at greater convenience.”  - TradeArabia News Service
