National carrier South African Airways (SAA) and Air Mauritius have concluded an agreement that will see a broadening of their codeshare agreement to enhance greater connectivity between the continent, South Africa, Mauritius and other intercontinental routes.

“The broadening of our relationship with Air Mauritius follows growing traffic between our two countries not only as a consequence of tourism, but also concomitant to growing trade between these markets,” said SAA acting CEO Nico Bezuidenhout.

Connectivity between SAA’s continental routes as regional feeders for traffic in and outbound from Mauritius was also enhanced.

“Cross network sales will improve access to markets in a further move to support trade and tourism,” said Bezuidenhout.

Late last year, SAA also added an additional frequency to Mauritius as demand continued to grow.

“Demand indicators have shown a growing number of passenger volumes connecting through Johannesburg, originating on the continent. By offering increased ease of connectivity onto the trunk codeshare route operated by SAA and Air Mauritius we expect sustained growth in traffic,” Bezuidenhout noted. 

Mauritius remained an important destination for SAA it had been throughout its history and Mauritius remained one of the fastest growing economies [on] the continent with consistent demand-side growth in both business and leisure travel.
