AML participated in the first meeting for 2022 of the World Governing Board of Airports Council International (ACI), in the Sultanate of Oman a few days ago. Mauritius Airport was represented by Mr Siven Chellen, Officer-in-Charge of AML and also Board Director of ACI World and ACI Africa. The gathering of the Captains of the Airport Industry was the chosen platform to discuss key issues and future strategies to allow the sector to rebound after the pandemic and to facilitate recovery after several challenging months.

This meeting was also the opportunity for the OIC of AML, to share the perspective of the African airports and to wish for enhanced cooperation between ACI members. Other subjects discussed included sustainability initiatives, the impact of rising oil prices and the repercussions of geo-political tensions in some regions of the world, among others.

Following the World Governing Board Meeting, several decisions were made with respect to the future strategies to be implemented for the benefit of ACI Members and to allow the sector to grow and prosper again.

We are pleased to announce the exciting news of SSRIA being awarded by ACI, not only Best Airport in Africa in its category but also Best Hygiene Measures in the region. This fantastic outcome results from the consistent efforts of all our team members and who therefore deserves our heartiest Congratulations!

These ASQ Awards for year 2021 also underscore the values and priorities of AML and ATOL in ensuring that we continue to offer excellent and safe passengers services, despite challenging circumstances.

Very recently, Government has put forward a new strategy to boost the local tourism industry by increasing bookings from existing markets while exploring new ones, by enhancing the travel and stay experience for guests and by improving connectivity. Our airport and team members have therefore a key role to play in the successful unfolding of above. In so doing, AML and ATOL have a unique opportunity of contributing directly to the recovery of our country and its national economy.
