Its turnover for the period was 459 million euro, a 2 per cent increase compared to the same period last year, according to a communiqué published on Sunday in Port-Louis.

“This positive result confirms that our strategy was good and it has allowed the company to behave well in this difficult economic environment,” Dass Thomas, chairman of the Air Mauritius Board said.
