Mayotte : More airlines and more flights in sight

Towards upheavals of Mahoran airlines ?

Mahoran opportunities stir up appetites.

The Mahoran sky should be upset in the coming months

Indeed, the cards are being shuffled between the airlines. A situation that could be beneficial for travelers.

The increase in the eco-contribution on flights is not the only change planned for the coming months for passengers, they could see coming in the sky above Dzaoudzi, new airlines, things are changing.

New competition

In first place, the Ewa company should no longer serve Reunion Island from September 1. Apparently, Air Austral could have recovered its plane, that it leased to its subsidiary, to serve Madagascar.

On the other hand, it would seem that the Reunion Trade and Companies Register has been enriched with a new airline whose shareholders are Croatian.

The leaders would aim to recover the market left by Ewa Air on the Reunion-Mayotte line and to take advantage of their presence in the area to serve Madagascar.

Two planes from this company could cross paths on the tarmac at Marcel Henri airport. This company of Croatian origin would have all the flight certificates necessary to make these connections, it would even be the company with which Zena Airlines had considered a partnership to rent the plane they need.

new airlines

As such, a few weeks ago, Julien Novou revealed that Zena Airlines had submitted its file to obtain its transport certificate. Once they are assigned, they can consider their first flight.

On the other hand, Amélia would have views on the connections with Mozambique and possibly Madagascar. The Corsair company which has just invested again in the Madagascar destination could, her too, imagine local development thanks to the potential change in its shareholding which is still pending.

As soon as the latency period is over, the establishment of Air France on the island in the lagoon will return in the front of the scene. In the middle of it all, Air Austral, the historical company, will not be fooled and will undoubtedly align its offers with those of the competition.

The Departmental Council of Mayotte promotes air development

Finally, President Ben Issa's ambition to promote the creation of a local airline is still very present., The Departmental Council and the CCI could also make announcements in the next few months to this effect..

Dzaoudzi airport is under construction for its extension, it is a form of preparation for an increase in traffic which should, Definitely, arrive before the first pickaxes of the long track even occur. The advantages for passengers are real since the arrival of new companies will make it possible to widen the range of destinations offered to Mahoran passengers but also in terms of price., more choice often rhymes with advantageous rates for travelers.
