Air Mauritius

Air Mauritius was incorporated in June 1967 and it started its operations modestly with a Piper-Navajo. The destiny of Air Mauritius is forged in the ambition of the people of Mauritius who, since accession to independence, refused the perspective of isolation.

The first flights to the sister island of La Reunion defined the beginning of a regional identity. From there, with the symbol of the Phaeton Rubicola, the legendary bird commonly called Paille-en-Queue, Air Mauritius has drawn new routes over the oceans to link continents. In this way, a tradition was instituted. A tradition made up of the constant need to evolve towards renewed horizons.

Today, 40 years later, the national carrier of Mauritius flies direct to more than 25 European, Asian, Australian, African and regional destinations. The company is also proud of its young fleet which is composed of mainly Airbus aircraft including A340–300C, A340-300E, A330-200. A319-100, For the island destinations – Rodrigues and Reunion – ATR72-500 aircraft are operated.

About a decade ago, Air Mauritius was approved as a JAR (Joint Aviation Requirements) 145 Maintenance Organisation by the French Direction Generale de L'Aviation Civile (DGAC). Since May 2004, Air Mauritius has been approved as a Part 145 Maintenance Organisation by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). This approval allows Air Mauritius to provide aircraft and aircraft components maintenance services to European aircraft operators and other airline operators which require a Part 145 Certificate of Release to Service.

Safety and security have always been at the heart of the company’s operations. Air Mauritius has successfully been through the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA). This IOSA Certificate is one of the pre-requisites for IATA membership and enables all carriers to have an agreed common standard for operational safety in the global air transport industry.
