Operated by an Airbus 340, the weekly flight, Flight MK686, will depart from Mauritius at 1:40 p.m. (local time) every Saturday and arrive in Beijing at 5:45 a.m. (Beijing time) on Sunday. The return flight, Flight MK687, will depart from Beijing at 12:45 a.m. (Beijing time) on Monday and arrive in Mauritius at 08:45 a.m. (local time) the same day.
