Tropical storm Eleanor forced Air Mauritius to take immediate action to clearly demonstrate that lessons learned from the Belal experience were taken into account. The national airline announced significant adjustments to its flight schedule, issuing bulletins 4 and 5 yesterday at 4:00 pm and 6:45 pm, respectively. These announcements detail canceled, rescheduled, and on-time flights. Updates are ongoing and must therefore be checked on the Air Mauritius website.
Following the lifting of cyclone warnings and the reopening of Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport yesterday afternoon, Air Mauritius communicated major changes in its flight schedule.
The two bulletins confirmed that four flights departing from Mauritius to Paris, Réunion, Johannesburg, and Geneva, as well as the return flights, were on time. However, flights to London, Kuala Lumpur, and their return were rescheduled. Flights to Mumbai, Réunion (three flights), and Madagascar, on the other hand, were canceled.
Additionally, passengers on flight MK 440 on February 22 to Perth were transferred to the flight MK 440 on February 24.
