Kenya Airways has announced the temporary suspension of flights to Mauritius following a government-issued cyclone warning. The airline stated that this decision was made in response to the temporary closure of Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU) due to the severe weather conditions.

According to the advisory, Tropical Cyclone Class 3 is expected to impact Mauritius and potentially affect neighboring countries in the Indian Ocean. Authorities in Mauritius have issued alerts, though the exact duration of the cyclone’s impact remains uncertain.

Kenya Airways expressed its regret for any inconvenience caused to passengers and assured them that their safety and that of the airline’s staff remained a top priority. The airline also extended its thoughts to those affected by the adverse weather conditions.

Passengers impacted by the flight suspension have been advised to check their flight status on the airline’s website or contact the Customer Excellence Center through WhatsApp or X (formerly Twitter) for further assistance.

As the situation continues to develop, Kenya Airways has committed to providing timely updates regarding new developments and the resumption of flights once clearance is granted by the authorities.
