Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport is the primary gateway to the island nation of Mauritius, located at Plaine Magnien, approximately 48 km southeast of the capital city, Port Louis. Formerly known as Plaisance Airport, it serves as a crucial transportation hub for travelers coming to and from various destinations in Africa, Asia, and Europe. The airport is home to Air Mauritius, the national airline of Mauritius, and is owned and operated by Airports of Mauritius Co. Ltd (AML), with the government of Mauritius as the major shareholder. The airport’s name honors Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam, the first Prime Minister of Mauritius.
Historically, the airport’s origins trace back to World War II when it was established as a Royal Naval Air Station for the defense of Mauritius. After the war, it transitioned to civilian operations, providing a significant boost to the Mauritian economy. The airport gradually expanded, and the first flight to Rodrigues Island took place in 1972, signaling the growth of regional air travel. Infrastructure improvements in 1986 included a new terminal with airbridges, a car park, and customs services for international routes, accommodating larger aircraft.
In 2013, a new passenger terminal was inaugurated, mirroring the design of the “Traveller’s palm,” a native tropical plant. The terminal, which cost $306 million, reflects the “Maurice Ile Durable” concept, focusing on environmental and ecological considerations such as solar energy utilization, rainwater harvesting, integrating nature into the building, and thermo-insulated facades to reduce heat gain. With a capacity of 4 million passengers, the terminal features airbridges for boarding, check-in desks, immigration counters, and baggage carousels, making it a modern and sustainable addition to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport’s infrastructure.
