OA MEA E AVEA MAI LENEI TUSI:

Clearly stung by the overwhelming success of neighboring Seychelles, where by the end of this year 25 weekly frequencies from Gulf airlines will come to Mahe – double daily by Emirates, daily by Qatar Airways, and an initial 4 flights a week by Etihad – have tourism stakeholders moved from asking to demanding from government that a similar approach be adopted to add more arrivals.
Air Mauritius supporters from the private and public sector will, therefore, closely watch what will happen to their load factors when the additional flights commence and “judgment has been reserved until we have sufficient data on how the added Emirates flights will affect loads on Air Mauritius”.
However, there have also, according to a source from Mauritius, been words of caution, pointing to Air Seychelles, which had to drop their flights to Frankfurt as they were unable to compete with Gulf airlines in terms of pricing and frequencies offered.
