Plaisance Airport was offered to Mauritius by the Royal Air Forces in 1946, shortly after the war ended. Set in the idyllic, beautiful landscape, Mauritius is an island in the Indian Ocean that is intensively visited by tourists from all around the world. And for all the right reasons, too. The environment is full of indigene flora and fauna, but the main attractions would have to be the beautiful, tropical beaches and wildlife.
Mauritius is considered to be one of the most visited places on Earth, its exotic climate, natural habitat and luxurious retreats being the main reasons for which people come to this island. Statistics show that Mauritius has one of the highest rates when it comes to returning visitors. This means that a lot of flights land on Plaisance Airport.
Plaisance Airport offers luxurious features, just like Mauritius. There are three lounges at the airport, one is called the VIP lounge also known as “La Terrasse” and it accepts first class passengers, business class passengers as well as premium commercial passengers. This lounge has a touch of flamboyant and classy design, making you feel as if you stepped in a five star hotel rather than a lounge at the airport. There are a lot of facilities that you can take advantage of located at this lounge. You have color printers, xerox machines, newspapers, TV and you can even make a local call, free of charge.
