New Flights to Mauritius
26th October 2015
New flights to Mauritius will soon be scheduled from Germany, Austria and the Republic of Turkey.
Austrian and Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa and low-cost Eurowings will now make Mauritius destination more accessible from Europe and Eurasia.
Austrian Airlines will start its weekly scheduled flights (flight number OS17) from its hub, Vienna International Airport (IATA code VIE), at the end of October. The inaugural flight to Mauritius Airport is scheduled at 17:15h on Thursday, 29th October 2015.
The Boeing 767-300 plane will land at 6:55h the next day and depart soon after at 8:15h. Total travelling time is 10:40h. Return ticket price per adult including taxes, fees and charges is around 900 euros.
Lufthansa, the German Airline, plans to fly to Mauritius as from 10th December 2015 and until April next year. Flights are within the framework of its "Jump" program which is a leaner long-haul carrier than mainline Lufthansa.
Frankfurt-based "Jump" is being positioned to potentially serve leisure-heavy routes that do not warrant the use of aircraft with large premium cabins.
An Airbus A340-300 with a capacity of 18 seats in Business Class, 19 in Premium Economy and 261 in Economy will be scheduled for the flight from Frankfurt Airport (IATA code FRA).
The national flag carrier of Turkey, Turkish Airlines, will initiate its flight to the Mauritian landscape on 15th December. If three weekly flights from Istanbul Atatürk Airport (IATA code IST) to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport are scheduled, one additional flight could be added later on.
