Following the dispatch of a technical team from Air Mauritius to Réunion Island last night, the aircraft 3B-NBU has been successfully repaired at around 03:00 this morning. The plane flew back to Mauritius at noon and has made two rotations on La Réunion. A total of approximately 400 passengers has been uplifted on the Réunion–Mauritius route throughout the day on Saturday, 02 August.

Regarding aircraft 3B-NCL, which remains grounded in Mumbai, the replacement part has been sent on a Vistara flight this morning and was delivered this evening. After customs clearance, which is expected to take between two to three hours, the repair process is estimated to last around four hours. A departure from Mumbai to Mauritius is tentatively scheduled for 06:30 on Sunday 03 August, with an expected arrival in Mauritius at 10:45, local time on the same day.
