Information on Air Mauritius
Air Mauritius
Air Mauritius was incorporated in June 1967 and started its operations modestly with a Piper-Navajo. Today, the airline flies to the main European, Asian and African destinations and service provided is levelled at international standards. In this way a tradition was instituted; paradoxically, a tradition made up of the constant need to evolve towards always renewed horizons. 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 favoured the taking off of a regional identity founded in the brotherhood of the people of the Mascarene. 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. Air Mauritius flies some 850,000 passengers to about 30 destinations. The National Carrier operate with five Airbus A340-300, two Airbus A319-100, two Boeing 767 ER, one ATR 72-500, 2 ATR 42-500 and three Bell Range helicopters. The National Carrier contributes significantly to the export-oriented Mauritian economy. Air Mauritius Cargo carries some 42,000 tons yearly and, in the perspective of increased transit activities, the storage capacities have already been increased by 25%. Air Mauritius also provides service to other airlines in the African and Indian Ocean region. CARAT, the consulting arm of the Company, markets Air Mauritius' capabilities in a wide range of airline operations, including human resource development, IT, financial structuring, maintenance and engineering, procurement strategy and financial risk management. 1998, saw Air Mauritius approved as a JAR (Joint Aviation Requirements) 145 Maintenance Organisation by the French Direction Generale de L'Aviation Civile (DGAC). The approval means Air Mauritius can perform maintenance on aircraft and components belonging to the member states of the Joint Aviation Authorities and that the company can sell its services to other airlines in the region that require a JAR 145 release. Air Mauritius is launching a third party maintenance base at SSR International Airport. Air Mauritius maintains its commitment to high quality service. Because the Mauritian carrier acts as an ambassador for the country and reveals the image of its people. Those who fly Air Mauritius realise that multiple elements in its offices and on board celebrate "L'Esprit de l'Ile Maurice", the Soul of Mauritius. This concept tries to express the blend of an innate sense of human encounter with the urge to improve constantly.
