Emirates kicks off commercial flights this morning at 9.40am, followed by two Air Mauritius flights, one from Paris, the other from Dubai. They will have 190, 288 and 250 passengers on board, respectively. On the accommodation side, in the 14 “Safe Travels” hotels, 1,500 reservations have been made up to September 30. The trend, which was emerging, is confirmed. Those who scrambled to book their plane tickets immediately after the announcement of the resumption of commercial flights in the budget speech were mostly Mauritians. In this case, those who had been stranded abroad for months. Ditto for hotels, most of the demand comes from fellow citizens and foreign residents. The trend is expected to reverse in October.
