Malaysia Airlines has signed a codeshare agreement with Emirates, providing business travellers with unprecedented access to the network of the largest airline in the Middle East.

Malaysia Airlines will codeshare on Emirates’ Kuala Lumpur-Dubai route, which will be operated three times a day on a Boeing 777 and once a day on an Airbus 380, and then onwards over 30 South American and European destinations, including Rome, Paris, Zurich, Geneva, Stockholm, Madrid, and Barcelona.

“The Malaysia Airlines and Emirates codeshare is an integral part of our future network plan as we focus on getting our customers connected globally,” says Malaysia Airlines’ chief commercial officer Paul Simmons. “It will ensure seamless travel for our passengers, enabling strong connectivity to Malaysia Airlines’ network to Malaysia / South East Asia and the Emirates network to Europe, Middle East, Canada, and Africa. We are pleased to launch the collaboration and we are confident that our customers will benefit from this agreement.”

Malaysia Airlines customers will be able to purchase their codeshare flights on Emirates beginning February 29. www.malaysiaairlines.com
