From its
base at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (SSR) in Port
Louis, Mauritius, Air Mauritius offers high quality flights to many
major European, Asian and African destinations.
With regular
flights from London Heathrow to Mauritius, passengers can take advantage
of great value airfares to exotic destinations such as Cape Town,
Perth, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.
Air
Mauritius underlines its commitment to quality flights, stating that
it sees itself as an ambassador for the country and for the 'L'Esprit
de l'Ile Maurice', - the Soul of Mauritius.
The airline
aims to provide passengers with a blend of traditional great customer
service and constant improvements, as well as offering great value
airfares.
The Mauritian national carrier, Air Mauritius
was founded in 1967 with around 850,000 passengers per year now taking
advantage of its fantastic flights.
Air Mauritius offers
its flights through a fleet of 15 aircraft from its base in Port Louis,
each carrying the Air Mauritius symbol of the mythological bird the
Phaeton Rubicola, commonly known as the Paille-en-Queue.
The
fleet includes five Airbus A340-300 aeroplanes, two Airbus A319-100s
and two Boeing 767 ERs, as well as three Bell Range helicopters.
Air
Mauritius says that its A340-300 craft are the most advanced long-range
passenger aircraft available today and are equipped with the most
up-to-date satellite communications systems including satellite navigation,
fax facilities and telephone.
The A319-100 aircraft also
boast some impressive features, including greater seat pitch, enlarged
stowage bins and a personal audio system for passengers to enjoy during
the flight.
Air Mauritius recently announced some exciting
new facilities to be deployed on its flagship London to Mauritius
A340-300 flights from the end of 2006.
Passengers in all
classes will soon be able to enjoy an Audio and Video on Demand system
during their flight. This will allow them to choose between around
100 digital-quality multi-language video options as well as a library
of more than 100 CDs with playlist capabilities.
With excellent
standards of safety and maintenance, Air Mauritius was approved as
a Joint Aviation Requirements organisation in 1998, meaning that it
is qualified to perform maintenance on aircraft and components belonging
to other airlines as well as its own.
It is planning to
launch a third-party maintenance facility at its hub airport Sir Seewoosagur
Ramgoolam International Airport.

First Class Passengers
travelling with Air Mauritius will also be able to enjoy the luxury
of cocoon seats and flat beds. The cabin will contain only two rows
of seats, allowing a great level of intimacy on the flights..
Business
Class Superbly comfortable seats, gourmet menus
to choose from , and luxury accessories. You can let yourself be
pampered hours on end. A new intermediate class called Club Mauritius
will be launched by Air Mauritius too, offering passengers individual
seatback monitors, plus dedicated crew and check-in facilities.
The new class will give customers "unmatched value-for-money" on
their airfares, said the company. Economy
Class There is no boast, but it looks more like
the business class on some of the competitor's planes: individual
LCD screens, video programmes to choose from, electronic headphones,
headrests, footrests, menus, drinks, free aperitifs and liqueurs.
