Malaysia Airlines to Codeshare with Emirates

Malaysia Airlines will codeshare on Emirates’ four times daily service between Dubai and Kuala Lumpur from 15 February 2016.

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 with Emirates aircraft.

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

The partnership will see the frequent flyer programmes of both airlines aligned, giving customers expanded opportunities to earn and redeem points.

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.”

Malaysia Airlines will be suspending its Kuala Lumpur-Dubai route by 15 February and will re-accommodate passengers on its codeshare flights with Emirates.
