Air Mauritius

Air Mauritius (ICAO: MAU) serves as the national flag carrier of Mauritius, connecting the island nation to various destinations globally.

Air Mauritius was incorporated on June 14, 1967, and commenced its flight operations in August 1972, initially with inter-island services using a leased Piper Navajo aircraft. The airline was established as a consortium involving Air France, BOAC, and the Government of Mauritius. Its main operational base and hub is the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU) in Plaisance, Mauritius, which serves as the primary gateway for the island's international air traffic.

The airline operates a modern fleet primarily composed of Airbus aircraft, including the Airbus A350-900 XWB, Airbus A330-900neo, Airbus A330-200, and ATR 72-500/600 turboprops for regional flights. Air Mauritius is recognized for having one of the youngest wide-bodied fleets globally. Its route network spans across four continents—Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia—with direct flights to 13 destinations and connectivity to over 70 destinations through codeshare agreements with partner airlines. Domestically, it operates flights to Rodrigues Island.

Air Mauritius is a member of the Vanilla Alliance, a cooperation agreement established in September 2015 with other airlines in the Indian Ocean region aimed at enhancing air services. The airline offers distinct cabin classes, including Business Class and Economy Class. Business Class provides passengers with full-flat seats, direct aisle access on newer aircraft, premium lounge access, and gourmet dining. Economy Class is designed to offer comfortable seating and in-flight entertainment, particularly on its modern Airbus A350s. Air Mauritius is also certified as a 4-Star Airline by SKYTRAX for the quality of its airport and onboard products and staff service.
