AIR Mauritius has taken
another step in its
strategy to expand its
network with the launch
of weekly flights to
Tanzania.
Dar es Salaam is
served every Friday by
an A319 on a triangular
flight operating MauritiusDar
es Salaam-NairobiMauritius.
At the recent launch of
the Dar es Salaam flights,
Air Mauritius chairman,
Arjoon Suddho, said the
airline had 26 weekly
flights to the African
continent following the
addition of the new
destination.
“We have launched
a weekly flight to Dar
es Salaam in a bid to
address the need for
more connectivity to give
travellers from Mauritius
easy access to East
Africa,” he said.
Air Mauritius ceo, Megh
Pillay, said the new
flights would contribute
to feeding the air corridor
that linked Africa and Asia
via the hubs of Mauritius
and Singapore.
In early May the airline
launched weekly flights
to Maputo with the return
flight via Durban.
Kenya Association of
Tour Operators Coast
Branch chairperson,
Monika Solanki, said the
Air Mauritius flights would
connect the Indian Ocean
islands with East Africa,
attracting international
holidaymakers to the
region.
