Aeropuerto įkūrimas ir istorinė kilmė
In 1942, as part of the defence of Mauritius, the government started constructing a Royal Naval Air Station at Plaisance near Mahébourg. This was subsequently handed over to the Royal Air Force at the end of World War II, and civilian operations started shortly afterwards. In 1960, an electric refitting was completed at Plaisance Airfield, including airfield lighting and telecommunications equipment. The first flight to Rodrigues island was made on 10 September 1972, an Air Mauritius flight from Plaisance Airport to the Plaine Corail Airport at Rodrigues using a Twin Otter (3B-NAB).
Naujas terminalas ir jo architektūra
A new passenger terminal was inaugurated on 30 August 2013 and was fully operational in September 2013. The structure of the New Airport Terminal is designed after the "Traveller's palm", a tropical plant that grows on Mauritius. It is connected to the existing terminal (refurbishment began in 2014) and has a capacity of 4 million passengers. The new terminal, which cost US$306 million, aligns with the "Maurice Ile Durable" concept.
Aplinkosauga ir energijos efektyvumas
Environmental and ecological aspects taken into consideration include using solar energy collected by photovoltaic cells, recovering rain water, integrating nature to the heart of the building, and including thermo-insulated facades to reduce heat gain.
The SSR Airport is linked with the Airports of Mauritius Co. The new terminal is part of ongoing modernization efforts to accommodate growing traffic and to improve international connectivity.
