Mauritius denies landing permit for Israeli flight
An Air Seychelles flight traveling from Israel to Mauritius was canceled after Mauritian authorities denied landing clearance. The flight was organized by the Israeli tour operator Spirit World Productions.
Spirit World Productions stated that the refusal was based on ‘political and diplomatic considerations,’ despite having received necessary approvals months prior. Reports suggest the decision may be linked to the absence of a Mauritian delegation during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent address to the United Nations General Assembly. Mauritian authorities have not issued an official statement regarding the denial.
