Mack Air - new GSA in Sri Lanka

Air Mauritius has appointed Mack Air (Pvt) Ltd. as its new GSA for Passenger sales in Sri Lanka from November 1.

Vice President Sales Support and Distribution at Air Mauritius I. Deenanath said that this appointment will give a new boost to sales for Air Mauritius in the Sri Lankan market.

"We already have a good traffic base from Sri Lanka consisting of workers and business traffic and we plan to consolidate on this and also diversify our traffic base by targeting leisure (tourist) traffic especially among the locals and expatriate community. We also plan to promote Mauritius as the transfer point for travel to Africa and the Indian Ocean region," President - Transportation Group of John Keells Holdings PLC Romesh David said.

"We are extremely pleased at the appointment as GSA for Air Mauritius and look forward to working closely with the airline to develop bi-lateral traffic between the two countries. Apart from the business and employment traffic, Mauritius and onward connections to Africa on the Air Mauritius network offers exciting prospects as leisure destinations to the discerning Sri Lankan and expatriate traveller just as much as a peaceful Sri Lanka poses a new and novel option for Mauritian travellers," he said.
