About Mauritius

Air Mauritius is the national carrier of Mauritius and flies direct to several European, Asian, African and Regional destinations – more than 25. The company is also proud of its young fleet which is composed of mainly Airbus aircraft – A340 - 300’s, A319-100’s, two new A340-300E and A330-200 as well. For the island destinations – Rodrigues and Reunion – ATR72-500 aircraft are operated.

Fleet

AIRBUS A340-300E
Air Mauritius acquired two new A340-300E in December 2006. Bearing the names Le Flamboyant and Le Chamarel, both aircraft are reconfigured in a 2 Class Cabin layout of 34 Business and 266 Economy (Y).

Up front, the Business class is fitted with new generation lie-flat seats. Laid-out in a 60-inch pitch, the airline's choice of cocoon seats features state-of-the-art technology and individual comfort with fingertip control. The Economy seats are at 31-inch pitch.


AIRBUS A319-100
With the A319, Air Mauritius elected to blend its own standard of in-flight service with those set by Airbus for single-aisle cabin configuration.
Enlarged stowage bins, a wide aisle for faster turnaround and greater seat pitch have been designed to provide enhanced individual comfort on board the two A319, named Mon Choisy and Blue Bay. While our passengers sit back and enjoy our in-flight entertainment, they will be able to experience the dedicated service provided by our cabin crew.


AIRBUS A340-300
Paying homage to the fauna of the island, the 4 A340-300 classic bear the names of the endemic birds of Mauritius : Pink Pigeon, Cardinal, Parakeet and Paille-en-Queue
Tailored to meet the needs of long range markets, this aircraft offers the possibility of direct point to point services to the distant Air Mauritius’ and tourist markets. Equipped with advanced satellite communications systems, the Airbus comprises navigation by satellite as well as telephone facilities.

A second A330-200 named “Nénuphar” after the famous aquatic plant which grows in abundance at the SSR Botanic Garden at Pamplemousses, joined the fleet on 29 October 2009. The A330-200 is configured in two-class configuration which will be the new product line of the whole Air Mauritius wide-bodied fleet, offering 24 business class lie flat seats and 251 economy seats.
