Mauritius's single-terminal airport is compact and straightforward for transiting passengers, especially those connecting between international flights on Air Mauritius. The main challenge is that non-through-checked international arrivals must clear immigration and security again, and the terminal can feel congested during peak widebody bank arrivals from Europe and Asia. MRU has one main terminal, so all connections are done on foot with no train or shuttle needed. Passengers on separate tickets or arriving from outside the transit agreement zone must exit through immigration, collect bags, and re-clear security before re-entering departures, which adds meaningfully to the process. Rodrigues Island flights (technically domestic) use a small dedicated section near the main hall, an easy walk from the international concourse.

Still under minimum connection times, especially risky if bags need reclaiming and rechecking. See full 30 min guide →
