Air Mauritius will introduce a new flight schedule for Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban from June 27.
The new schedule for Johannesburg offers travellers more time in Mauritius, competing with SAA’s favourable schedule.
Flights will depart OR Tambo International Airport at 09h40 on Saturdays and Sundays, arriving in Mauritius at 15h40 Return flights depart Mauritius at 17h00 on Fridays and Saturdays, arriving in Johannesburg at 19h35.
From June, Air Mauritius' Cape Town flights will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at modulated times. Durban flights will operate on Mondays and Fridays at the same times as they currently do.
Carla da Silva, Air Mauritius Regional Manager for Southern Africa and Latin America, said provided all flights across South Africa were supported, irrespective of the new schedule, the airline would be able to continue discussions around the prospects of a daily schedule from Cape Town and Durban. Air Mauritius already flies daily from Johannesburg.
