It means the carrier will operate five times a week to and from Heathrow from mid-November to early March next year. Air Mauritius had been scheduled to operate a fifth "Christmas peak" frequency from 13 December to 10 January.
However, this will now operate from 14 November to 7 March 2023, sales manager UK and Ireland Allan Owen confirmed on Tuesday (27 September).
The additional flights will depart Mauritius on Mondays, with returns the following day. Air Mauritius will operate the route using an Airbus A350 aircraft.
"Due to continued strong demand for travel to Mauritius over the coming winter season, I am pleased to announce Air Mauritius has extended the fifth frequency on the London Heathrow to Mauritius route," said Owen.
"[It’s] now effective from 14 November 2022 through to 7 March 2023 [having previously just covered the Christmas peak season 13 December to 10 January]."
