Reopening of borders: no news until January 15
Nothing is expected to move at the Mauritian borders until January 15 of next year.
So the government decided. In a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen), sent by the Department of Civil Aviation, Monday, to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), he announces a new extension of the border closure to commercial flights, with a few exceptions. No new phase of the border reopening process is therefore expected to take place within the next two months. So this is the status quo.
The resumption of regular international flights to and from Mauritius is not expected to take place by mid-January. This leaves us on a handful of weekly international commercial flights.
The first phase, which focused on the repatriation of Mauritians stranded abroad, had started since the country was closed in mid-March, and continued until September 30.
The second started on October 1 and opened the borders for two commercial flights per week to and from Paris and one flight to and from Reunion Island as well as a weekly flight to Dubai.
This phase is maintained until January 15. The third phase which consists of the total reopening of the country.
In the meantime, no passenger will be allowed to enter or transit through Mauritius. As for the flight crew and pilots who will be on board aircraft with special permission to land in Mauritius, they will be confined to their hotel rooms until their departure. The Holiday Inn at Mon Trésor, next to the airport, has been designated for this purpose.
