London to Mauritius

LGW → MRU

Air Mauritius has been linking Mauritius with London for more than 50 years. Its first long-haul service in 1973 flew via Nairobi aboard a Vickers Super VC10 leased from BOAC. Today, the airline flies nonstop from Gatwick to Mauritius, continuing a route that has evolved from a multi-stop African journey into a 12-hour crossing of the Indian Ocean. Gatwick has become Air Mauritius’ London home, offering the airline the capacity and flexibility to maintain its direct link with Britain.
