Mauritius signs bilateral air services agreements with the Philippines
Article Published on September 27, 2019
During recent negotiations held between the Republic of Mauritius and the Republic of the Philippines, it has been agreed that a Bilateral Air Services Agreement will be concluded with the Government of the Republic of the Philippines.
A Memorandum of Understanding has already been signed. The salient points which have been agreed upon are the designation of airlines, the frequency/capacity and the code-sharing rights.
At present, the flag carrier airline of Mauritius, Air Mauritius, does not provide flights to/from the Philippines. The conclusion of the Bilateral Air Services Agreement and the Memorandum of Understanding with the Republic of the Philippines is a welcome move since this would enable Air Mauritius to provide seamless connections and a smooth customer journey via Singapore through the implementation of a codeshare arrangement with any designated carriers of the Philippines.
