Emirates will grow its Airbus A380 network with new double daily A380 service to Mauritius later this year. From Dec. 1, the second A380 service, operating as flight EK 703/704, will replace the existing Boeing 777 operation, increasing Emirates’ capacity on the route between Dubai International Airport and Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport by 19 percent. The aircraft upgrade will allow an additional 165 passengers each day to travel to the island in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
“Our daily A380 service into Mauritius has enjoyed exceptional popularity since its launch on Dec. 16, 2013, with more than 150,000 passengers having flown our flagship aircraft to the paradise island during this time,” said Orhan Abbas, senior vice president of commercial operations for Latin America, Central and Southern Africa, Emirates.
Emirates will become the first carrier in the world to operate A380 aircraft to a destination in the Indian Ocean. The airline currently operates 39 A380s to 26 destinations around the world, more than any other airline.

The 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Fair was one of the first major music festivals to offer on-site camping, allowing attendees to remain immersed in the experience without ever leaving the grounds. These days, vast stretches of summer farmland east and west of the festival site are still transformed each summer into a cultural wonderland, offering bazaars, arts and crafts, music and educational events, and camping sites, providing festival-goers with a peaceful escape into nature and allowing visitors today to experience the same landscape that welcomed 450,000 people during the iconic 1969 Woodstock Festival event.
