KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines (MAB) and Emirates have announced a new partnership that will give MAB customers access to a “dramatically expanded” range of travel options.
The 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 Indian Ocean.
Under the agreement signed by Emirates president Sir Tim Clark and MAS chief executive officer Christoph Mueller, MAB 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 MAB to domestic routes in Malaysia, South-East Asia and selective cities across the Asia-Pacific region.
MAB said the codeshare would be implemented progressively throughout 2016 subject to regulatory approvals. Sales under this codeshare agreement will begin from Feb 1 next year.

The agreement, it said, would create a seamless international network connecting Malaysia to more than 90 destinations on the Emirates network across Europe, Middle East, Africa and the Americas, exclusive frequent flyer benefits and world-class travel experiences.
Mueller said in the statement that the improved connectivity would enable MAB 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.
