Airport of Mauritius
Some Facts about SSR Intl Airport
for Private Aircraft Operators
Passengers’ traffic through the Airport of Mauritius is ever increasing and a new terminal was operational in late 2013 at the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport.
Apart from regular flights to Mauritius by some major airliners, many private jets also land at our sunny island which is surrounded by gorgeous beaches.
I am here putting together my four years’ experience in aircraft ground operations and flight despatching to provide private owners some information about the aerodrome to streamline their flight planning.
