Sanitary measures
The sanitary safety of travellers and of the Mauritian public is a topmost priority. Protocols
following international best practice will be in force on board the aircraft, at the airport, for
airport transfers, at quarantine locations and thereafter at hotels and all other public places.
Information on how to prepare for your travel and about Air Mauritius health and safety
measures is available on:
https://www.airmauritius.com/covid-19-update/travel-information/prepare-for-your-travel
Passengers will also be subject to temperature checks at the airport of departure and at the
airport of arrival.
Baggage
Information on your baggage allowance is included on your ticket.
Cabin baggage is limited to one piece weighing not more than 7 kg
To help limit contact between carry-on baggage items, your cabin baggage should
include only the necessary essential items such as laptops, handbag, briefcase, and
baby items
Note that no single baggage weighing more than 32 kg will be accepted at check in
Should you be a Kestrelflyer Gold or Silver cardholder, you are eligible for one
additional piece of 20 kg on presentation of your membership card
At the airport of departure
With all the health safety and precautionary measures in place, the check-in and boarding
processes are expected to take longer. Passengers are therefore advised to arrive at the
airport at least three hours prior to their scheduled flight departure time.
Wearing of masks
It is mandatory for all passengers above 11 years old to wear only surgical masks from the
time they reach the airport of departure to the time they leave SSR International airport which

Typically, you should provide for one mask for every 4 hours. Please ensure that you carry a
sufficient number of masks for the entire duration of your flight, from the time you reach the
airport of departure to the time you leave SSR International airport.
Passengers who do not fulfil all the requirements above will not be allowed to board
flights to Mauritius.
Onboard
Passengers are requested to adhere to strict sanitary hygiene onboard
Used masks should not be left in seat pockets, on the seats or anywhere else in the
cabin. Same should be disposed of in the lavatory waste bins only or be kept in your
bag
