Mauritius Reportedly Blocks Israeli Charter Flight, Citing Diplomatic Reasons
The flight, operated by Air Seychelles and organized by Spirit World Productions, was cancelled after authorities did not grant permission to land, Israeli media reported.
Key details:
🟠The tour operator claimed approvals had been received months earlier and that it was informed the refusal was based on "political and diplomatic considerations."
🟠The decision was linked to the absence of a Mauritian delegation during Israeli PM Netanyahu's UN General Assembly address this week, Israeli media said, citing unnamed sources.
🟠Mauritian authorities have not commented, and the operator is working on arrangements for affected passengers.
