Air Mauritius will resume its direct operations to and from Geneva International Airport in Switzerland, with two weekly flights using the Airbus A330-900neo aircraft in a Business and Economy configuration with a capacity of 288 seats as from the 02 October 2023 until 12 January 2024.

This marks the start of seasonal operations to Geneva scheduled for part of the ‘IATA Northern Winter’ period.

Krešimir Kučko, CEO of Air Mauritius stated that, ‘“We are pleased to note the excellent response of the market to the resumption of operations to Geneva. We believe that it will contribute to boost tourist arrivals from Switzerland, Italy, southern Germany and France. Direct long-haul operations have traditionally been our strength to secure competitive leverage and we are currently exploring other similar opportunities to expand our network.”

He added that such direct operations complement our ‘origin-destination’ network model which entails offering to our passengers more choice and flexibility through the gateways we serve in collaboration with airline partners. Air Mauritius’ main gateway in Europe is Paris from where it offers code-share flights to nearly 40 destinations in Europe, with partner Air France. Air Mauritius currently operates twice daily frequencies to Paris Charles de Gaulle in partnership with Air France and our operations to London have been increased from three to five times weekly.

Krešimir Kučko declared that ‘The year 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of Air Mauritius’ operations to Paris, London and Mumbai. Last year the national carrier which was incorporated in 1967, commemorated its 50th anniversary of operations to Rodrigues.”
