Aeroflot opens regular flights to Mauritius for the first time for its recent history. From December 23 twice weekly services from Sheremetyevo will be operated on wide-body Boeing 777 on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Tickets are available.

Previously Russia’s air service to Mauritius was opened in the mid-90s using Il-62M aircrafts. At that time Aeroflot was the first and the only foreign air carrier to receive permeation from island’s government to operate regular flights to Mauritius.

Today, Russian tourists visiting Mauritius have an extensive hotel infrastructure and magnificent beaches with coral reefs washed by the waters of the Indian Ocean. The local nature is famous for its unique flora and fauna, and thanks to the mild tropical climate, tourists can relax here all year round. The high season in Mauritius lasts from November to May.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
