Cape Town increases flights to Mauritius
Cape Town Increases Flights to Mauritius
Air Mauritius will be expanding its flights from Cape Town in South Africa to Mauritius. Flights to Mauritius, starting in November 2012, will be increased from two to three times a week. Flights from Cape Town to Joburg will also be increased, but flights from Durban will be halted on October 26th. Emirates will become the sole provider of overseas flights from Durban. Those who live in Durban will be inconvenienced, with flights typically having to change planes in Johannesburg.
The people of Durban had high hopes that there would be more flights without plane changes departing from Durban. Comair was planning a route between Durban and London. This plan was abandoned after British Airways conducted research and found that it would not be a feasible venture. This was most likely caused by the 8 percent rise in taxes that passengers pay when entering or leaving the United Kingdom. The raise in taxes accompanied by the European Union carbon tax for airlines, would make it unrealistic to do business between Durban and London.
