Boarding passes will also be issued for the final destination at the originating station.

“This agreement improves our coverage of Australia through our hub in Perth. The new Air Mauritius – Virgin Australia partnership will enhance customer experience and also offer better choice and flexibility for our passengers” , Andre Viljoen CEO of Air Mauritius.
