Air Mauritius moves operations to London Gatwick Airport with daily direct flights from 29 October 2023

In a groundbreaking development, passengers will soon have the opportunity to fly nonstop from the UK to Mauritius on a daily basis, providing access to an idyllic island with pristine white beaches and crystal-clear azure waters. This change comes as Air Mauritius relocates its operations from London Heathrow.

On June 26, in celebration of the commencement of daily nonstop flights from London Gatwick Airport to Mauritius, Air Mauritius partnered with the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority to host a Networking Gala Evening at London’s JW Marriott Grosvenor House on June 22, 2023.

Air Mauritius, the primary airline of Mauritius, is set to mark a significant milestone as it reaches its 50th year of operations in the UK. This remarkable occasion will coincide with the airline’s transition from its previous base at London Heathrow Airport to London Gatwick Airport, scheduled for October 29, 2023.
