Airbus A380 in Mauritius SSR Airport – Photo by Qadir Mahamoodally
The Airbus A380 landed at Reunion Island yesterday and aero-fans were amazed at seeing this beautiful giant of the sky. The airplane is expected in Mauritius today as Air Mauritius is a long time client of Airbus. This demonstration tour of Airbus started on the 15th of October with an inaugural stop in Russia. The plane then made a stopover in South Korea to participate in the Seoul International Aerospace and Defence Exhibition 2009.
Mauritius is part of the second demonstration tour of the A380. The plane landed at Reunion Island yesterday and is expected in Mauritius today. Leaving Mauritius, the A380 will head to Dubai for the Dubai Air Show which ends on the 19 of November.
So be sure to look up the sky today morning between 9:30 to 10:00 to see this giant of the sky heading toward the SSR airport. If you can move to the airport, that is better and do not forget to send us some photo of the plane in Mauritius.
Small precision for the landing time: I tried to search the website of AirMauritius.com and as amateur as it is, it does not have any updated information about this event! (Air Mauritius it is time to sack your dumb website maintainance group!)
Radio Plus on his side announced that the airplane will land at 10:30 and finally they never talked about it again to confirm the news. Well their main dish is often who is raping who and so on so maybe this news is not really important for THEM! (Update: Finally they confirmed the time as 10:30 in their 9:00 news) – As for Lexpress their only article about this plane I found was a teaser extract of an article clicanoo.com! (Time to evolve guys!!)
I know the landing time is between 10:00 to 10:30 so better watch out as from 9:30 itself. You shall notice it as the plane will fly at a really LOW altitude for this demonstration. Those who have photos don’t hesitate to share with us at kurt@islandcrisis.net

Good pictures thanks.
I don’t quite see the relevance of the animosity towards Air Mauritius in the article and follow up comments. Air Mauritius is a carrier – not a broadcaster. I do not see why its corporate website should have been providing up to date information on this visit.
If you really need to have a go at someone, then blame the MBC or Airports of Mauritius.
