Flying in Mauritius

[salmabambi]

Hi to all ... does anyone know where or who I can rent a light aircraft from in Mauritius ... either private or through a club.
I am due to holiday there soon and my wife is Mauritian and I would love to show her the Island from the air.

I am a UK JAA PPL with 300+ hours on singles and twins and I am currently flying a PA-32 Lance ..... if this helps

Any info would be very welcome

Regards
Steve

No GA on Mauritius. Foreign aircraft there for more than a week I believe have to pay sales tax on the value of the aircraft.

I believe Air Mauritius used to have a few Cessna's for their (mostly South African pilots ... when SAA had the contract to manage them), but no longer.

If you want to fly hop on a plane to South Africa 3.5 - 5.5hrs depending where you are going..

Friends of mine work for Air Mauritius; I go there every so now and then, but not for the flying :-/

try phoning on this number,but i dont know if their light amphibian is still operative.
seemed still well-off last time i saw it(last year) docked on some beach in the north.
The instruments were as restrictive as in a piper cub,but was clean inside.
its only a 2-seater.
