Creation of a National Aviation Council in Mauritius
The Prime Minister announces a reform to improve air access and support the economy.
The Prime Minister of Mauritius, Navin Ramgoolam, recently announced the establishment of a National Aviation Council during a working meeting with Air Mauritius, held on September 3 at the New Treasury Building in Port-Louis. This initiative aims to review the country’s air access policy to promote the development of the air transport sector.
Currently, requests for new air routes are handled individually. With the creation of this Council, the government aims to adopt a more comprehensive approach that will benefit both Air Mauritius and the local economy. The goal is to facilitate access to Mauritian airspace and encourage more airlines to operate in the region.
This reform is part of a broader context where the government seeks to stimulate the tourism sector, which is one of the pillars of the Mauritian economy. By improving air access, authorities hope to attract more international visitors, which would contribute to the country’s economic recovery.
The National Aviation Council will be responsible for assessing opportunities for new air routes and implementing strategies to optimize the use of airspace. This initiative may also include a review of bilateral agreements with other countries to enhance Mauritius’ connectivity.
In conclusion, the creation of this National Aviation Council represents a significant step for the Mauritian government, which seeks to modernize and invigorate the aviation sector. The next steps will involve defining the operational modalities of this Council and developing a concrete action plan to implement this vision.
