Kuala Lumpur, (IINA) - Malaysia Airlines (MAS) and Emirates have announced a new partnership that will give their customers access to a “dramatically expanded” range of travel options, The Star Online reported.
The Malaysian national carrier said in a statement that this would give its customers access to 38 European and 15 American destinations as well as 38 destinations in the Middle East and Africa and the Indian Ocean.
Under the agreement signed by Emirates President Sir Tim Clark and MAS Chief Executive Officer Christoph Mueller, MAS will add its code on flights of Emirates to Europe, Middle East, Africa and the Americas. In return, Emirates will add its code on flights of MAS to domestic routes in Malaysia, South-East Asia and selected cities across the Asia-Pacific region.
MAS said that the codeshare would be implemented progressively throughout 2016, noting that sales under this codeshare agreement will begin from Feb 1 next year.
Mueller said that the improved connectivity would enable MAS customers to reach up to 38 destinations in Europe on a daily and even double daily basis for key European cities such as Zurich, Rome, Munich, Frankfurt, Madrid, and Barcelona.
“This partnership gives our customers access to a dramatically expanded range of travel options. It is a great way for customers to travel seamlessly to major cities across the world. Furthermore, Dubai is a tourism, trade and logistics hub which has earned itself the reputation as being the gateway between the East and the West”, he said.
Mueller said this was part of the national carrier’s initiative towards enhancing air connectivity with key priority markets overseas for increased tourist arrivals into Malaysia.
