Hi Dave

I think you are venturing into something quite complex with out a CPL(Commercial Pilots License) but maybe get hold of the Mauritian DCA and chat to them or get hold of the guys in the North.

Sorry not much advice but good luck

I think you need a tourist operators certificate/licence also

Which is $$$$

the Mauritian Flying association/aeroclbu airport were quite helpful last time i contacted them.

From memory (it was a while ago) i need to convert my Australia PPL to Mauritian. It involved a few exams etc.

Cheers,
