## Description

As an Indian Ocean trade and financial hub, Mauritius leans on Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU) for its high-value air links. The island's main airport sits at Plaine Magnien, 48 km southeast of the capital Port Louis, and handled around 4 million passengers in 2024. Home carrier Air Mauritius, alongside Emirates, Turkish Airlines and others, connects the island with Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. A dedicated cargo terminal manages handling, warehousing and customs clearance, with freight skewed toward time-sensitive goods: chilled and frozen seafood, fresh produce, cut flowers and apparel. Heavier and bulk volumes move instead through the seaport of Port Louis, so air and sea complement one another. The Mauritius Freeport, a free-trade zone, offers customs and tax incentives for transshipment and re-export toward eastern and southern Africa. Customs are administered by the Mauritius Revenue Authority. With no rail freight on the island, final distribution runs entirely by road.
