Air Mauritius to consolidate European destinations while expanding regionally and to Asia

Air Mauritius joins fellow Vanilla Islands carriers that are restructuring their operations largely as a result of decreased demand from mainstay European markets undergoing economic turmoil. The Vanilla Islands - comprising La Reunion, Madagascar, Mauritius and the Seychelles - have already seen restructures from Air Austral in La Reunion, Air Madagascar and Air Seychelles. Air Mauritius' plan, the last outstanding expected restructure, will see its European presence consolidated while efforts are renewed to expand to the potentially stronger but still nascent Asian market.
