Ewa Air will fly again between Dzaoudzi and Antananarivo from December 1st. The Mahorais subsidiary of Air Austral suspended this connection in 2017. It will put one of its two ATR 72-600s online twice a week between Mayotte and the Malagasy capital., Mondays and Saturdays. It will add a frequency, Wednesdays, during peak seasons. Prices are announced from 499 euros in low season and 548 euros in high season.
Antananarivo will become Ewa Air’s fifth direct destination from Dzaoudzi, with Majunga, Nosy Be, Antsiranana (Diégo-surez) and Moroni. The opening of this line should also interest the economic and commercial sector by offering freight capacities in both directions..
Renovation of maritime terminals continues
A new phase of the Mayotte maritime terminal rehabilitation program began at the beginning of September. It is dedicated to the complete rehabilitation of the Issoufali quay ramp., on the rock of Dzaoudzi. At a cost of 10 million euros, co-financed by the State and the Department, the work is due to be completed in mid-January 2026. Since September 15 and until January, the Issoufali quay is closed and all maritime traffic is redirected to the Ballou quay, who faces Mamoudzou.
The Mayotte Dairy increases its capacities
Laiterie de Mayotte has just invested nearly 3,4 million euros – including 1 million euros of European grant – in a new automated line which allows it to significantly increase its production capacities. With the same workforce, the unit based in Kawéni can produce 16,000 pots of yogurt per hour, instead of 6,000 previously. Created in 1992, Yoplait franchisee and subsidiary of the Reunion company Cilam, Laiterie de Mayotte employs around fifty employees.
A public establishment for reconstruction
The new public establishment for reconstruction and development of Mayotte, created by the recent emergency law for Mayotte, signed its first deed of sale on September 12 : that of land intended to accommodate around sixty housing units and four commercial premises in the Doujani district, in Mtsapéré. The operation is led by Al’Ma, the Mahorais subsidiary of the Action Logement group. The EPRDM was formed by absorbing the public land establishment of Mayotte, with the aim of unlocking land reserves which are sorely lacking for the construction of housing and economic activity zones. Eventually, 900 housing units are planned in the Doujani ZAC, as well as a school group, a sports complex, offices and shops.
