The airport shut earlier this week as the storm struck the island, bringing high winds and heavy rain leaving some passengers displaced and others unable to proceed with their travel plans.

Air Mauritius has since confirmed several flights to and from the UK, Australia, South Africa and nearby Reunion would be rescheduled for Wednesday and Thursday (17-18 January).
