It is in this spirit that Air Mauritius has decided to double the frequency from 24 January next year. "Recognizing the need to balance supply for growing markets and the importance of the number of Chinese tourists Air Mauritius has decided to operate two weekly flights to Shanghai from next January," said a statement issued late afternoon.
Both flights to Shanghai will provide connections to and from the island of Reunion, Madagascar and South Africa. With the introduction of this new flight, the national airline of Mauritius, will increase its seating capacity by 300%.
The flight MK688/689 will be operated by a Airbus A340 and connect Mauritius to Shanghai on Thursdays and Sundays from Mauritius and Fridays and Mondays Shanghai.
