Kenya Airways (KQ) has, on Thursday, February 27, 2025, temporarily suspended all flights to Mauritius due to the imminent threat posed by Tropical Cyclone Garance. The Mauritius Meteorological Service issued a Class 3 cyclone warning, anticipating gale-force winds, heavy rainfall, and rough seas affecting both Mauritius and La Réunion islands.

In response to these severe weather conditions, Mauritian authorities ordered the closure of Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport, leading KQ to halt its daily flights to the island nation. The airline emphasized that passenger and crew safety is its top priority and expressed regret for any inconvenience caused by the suspension.

The duration of the flight suspension remains uncertain, as it depends on the cyclone's impact and subsequent safety assessments. KQ has assured customers that flights will resume once conditions stabilize and the airport reopens.

Passengers affected by the suspension are advised to monitor KQ's official communication channels for updates and reach out to the airline's customer service for assistance with rebooking or refunds. The airline remains committed to ensuring safety and minimizing disruption during this period.
