Corsair International and Emirates extend their interline agreement

Offering customers even more choice, Corsair International and Emirates have extended their already successful interline agreement to include Reunion Island, Mauritius, Madagascar and Mayotte.

 

This extended agreement, now covering all Corsair destinations of the Indian Ocean, follows five months of a successful partnership, with many customers already benefiting from joint Corsair-Emirates itineraries. 

 

By calling their local reservations office, travel agent or booking through emirates.com, customers will be issued with a single combined ticket for flights operated by Emirates and Corsair International, enabling customers to enjoy one-stop check-in and baggage transfer between the airlines. The extended interline agreement has been effective since 1st March 2014.

 

Under the agreement, passengers flying from Mauritius will be able to buy a single Mauritius / Paris / Mauritius ticket combining a Corsair flight with an Emirates flight via Dubai, at very attractive prices. The agreement will add new routes to Corsair's routes, which currently comprise three direct flights at night to and from Paris Orly every week. Corsair will benefit from new passengers on its flights to and from the Indian Ocean and will be able to expand its destinations by taking on Emirates routes.

 

Pascal de Izaguirre, Chief Executive Officer of Corsair International, said: "We are very proud to extend our alliance with an airline as prestigious as Emirates. This extension underscores once again the attraction of Corsair, while confirming the success of our strategy to reposition the airline so as to move up market. The diversification of our network and the development of alliances are both strengths for Corsair while giving it a new dynamic for the benefit of our passengers".
