TRAVEL BAN LIFTED
\n6 January 2022
\nAs of Friday 7 January 2022, the Covid-19 travel ban imposed by the Republic of Mauritius on the Republic of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia will be lifted and commercial passenger<\/p>\n

Mauritius Tourism South Africa January 6, 2022
\nONE OF SA\u2019S BEST ISLANDS
\nThe Indian Ocean island remains a favourite destination.<\/p>\n

It was South Africans\u2019 most searched destination, even when international travel was not allowed in 2020, as reported by Google\u2019s Year in Search for 2020.<\/p>\n

South Africans love Mauritius, and the plethora of experiences and activities the island offers. South Africans were for many years an important tourism source market for the island. DIRECT FLIGHTS RELAUNCHED
\nSouth Africans are again able to reach Mauritius on direct flights from Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

According to Travelnews, Air Mauritius has released its flight schedule between South Africa and Mauritius, following the lifting of the ban on commercial passenger services to the island.<\/p>\n

Air Mauritius restarted its flights to Johannesburg on Sunday 9 January. The carrier will offer five flights a week during the month of January. Flights will be operated on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.<\/p>\n

The airline will begin daily flights to South Africa from 1 February. AIRLINES FLYING MAURITIUS ROUTE
\nLocally based airlines South African Airways, British Airways (operated by Comair) and FlySafair are expected to resume flights between SA and Mauritius in the days and weeks that lie ahead.<\/p>\n

The planning of airline schedules is linked to the demand for flights from passengers. With the December holidays having ended and the new school year beginning this week, the demand for passenger flights from South Africa to the island may not be sufficient for all of the locally-based airlines to relaunch regular flights on the SA \u2013 Mauritius route as yet.<\/p>\n
