Ethiopian Airlines Launches New Mauritius Route with Three Weekly Flights

Ethiopian Airlines has expanded its African network with the launch of a new passenger service to Mauritius, further strengthening air connectivity across the continent. The new route officially commenced operations on 12 July 2026 and will operate three times a week, linking the island nation to the airline’s extensive global network.

The addition of Mauritius reflects Ethiopian Airlines’ continued commitment to improving travel connections within Africa while offering passengers seamless access to destinations around the world through its hub in Addis Ababa.

By connecting Mauritius directly to Addis Ababa, travellers will enjoy convenient onward connections to cities across Africa, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas. The new route is expected to make travel easier for both leisure and business passengers while supporting stronger economic and cultural ties between Mauritius and Ethiopia.

Mauritius is widely recognised for its beautiful beaches, vibrant tourism sector, diverse cultural heritage and growing economy, making it an important addition to Ethiopian Airlines’ expanding African destination network. The new service is expected to boost tourism, facilitate trade and strengthen people to people exchanges between the two countries.

Passengers travelling on the route will experience Ethiopian Airlines’ award-winning service and modern fleet while benefiting from smooth transfers through Addis Ababa, one of Africa’s leading aviation hubs.

The launch of the Mauritius service forms part of Ethiopian Airlines’ broader strategy to expand its route network and contribute to the growth of air transport, tourism and economic integration across Africa, reinforcing the airline’s position as one of the continent’s leading international carriers.
