Air Mauritius came into being in June 1967 a mere nine months before the country’s independence. However, it only took the air in 1972 when the company leased a small six seater; twin propelled Piper Navajo to start operating a weekly service to our dependency, the island of Rodrigues. In 1975 a 16-seater Twin Otter aircraft operated on Reunion Island. Two years later the company took up service to Europe using a Boeing 707.

Today, Air Mauritius operates a fleet of 13 aircraft and 3 Bell Jet Ranger helicopters. The fleet comprises 5 Airbus A340-300 and 2 brand new A340-200ER all in a class 3 configuration; 2 Boeing 767-200ER in a Class 2 configuration; 2 Airbus 319-100 also in a class 2 configuration and 2 ATR72-500.

Air Mauritius offers scheduled passenger and cargo flights to no less than 31 destinations around the world. Online flight bookings and payments can be made via the company’s web site.
