Airport: New Terminal Operational in Early 2013

Airports of Mauritius Ltd and Aéroports de Paris Management signed a strategic partnership for the development of this project. 

The new terminal is one of two large projects that must implement AML. This project will cost about Rs 1, 4 billion is to expand the runway to accommodate wide-body-type 380 and resurface. 

The track surface has to be on average every 10 years to ensure the structural integrity to conform to international standards. The last track surface back in 1999 or 11 years ago. Thus, the new passenger terminal is planned for early 2013. Apart from the investment of 10 billion rupees in the new terminal is about Rs 3.2 billion of equity of AML will be granted to these two projects. Investments needed to make the SSR International Airport, the flagship of the industry in the region were made. 

The second project is of strategic importance and brand development for the country size, because it prevents the risk of being cut the world in case the main runway would be closed. Indeed, we will see the construction of the 'Parallel Taxiway' at a cost of Rs 1.8 billion. Once completed, this infrastructure will not only had to clear the runway quickly but can also serve as an emergency runway for aircraft types up to the A340 and with about 300 passengers.
