Reply: I am informed by the Acting Director of Civil Aviation and Air Mauritius Ltd that on 27 September 2025, prior to boarding the flight MK 120 for Rodrigues, passenger of 82 years old, sustained a minor injury while entering the airport apron bus, commonly known as “cobus”. At the time of boarding the aircraft and prior to take off, the passenger did not report any injury to the staff of Air Mauritius Ltd and Airports of Mauritius Co. Ltd. It was only during the flight to Rodrigues that the passenger informed the Cabin Crew of the incident as her foot was bleeding. Upon being informed, the Cabin Crew provided immediate first aid assistance to the passenger by cleaning the injury with ‘betadine’ and covering it with an adhesive bandage. The passenger was also provided with a painkiller. I am also informed that the flight Captain informed the Air Traffic Control and requested medical assistance on arrival in Rodrigues. Accordingly, upon landing in Rodrigues, the passenger was examined by the Nursing Officer on duty and left the airport after undergoing border control formalities. As regards the provision of medical assistance to injured passengers, I am informed that all Cabin Crew of Air Mauritius Ltd are trained and equipped to manage such situation and in providing appropriate assistance to passengers. I wish to also inform the House that as at date, no formal complaint has been received by Air Mauritius Ltd regarding the said incident. MR S.K. DEATH – INQUIRY UPDATE
