Some facts about the Airport Of Maauritius
Located in the southeast of the island, the facility,
formerly known as Plaisance Airport,
was initially built for military purposes during
the Second World War by the British. Commercial
activities started in 1946.
In order to accommodate constant civil traffic
growth, a new terminal, not too far from the old
building, was commissioned in 1987 under the name
of Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International
Airport.
Airports of Mauritius Co Ltd (AML)
was set up in 1999 and is presently modernising
and developing the facility. AML, which employs
380 people, caters for some 2 million passengers,
both in-coming and out-going per year.
The ground floor of the terminal is now reserved
to arrivals while the first floor has been refurbished
to accommodate departing passengers.
