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.
In a major development to its operations this year, the carrier has been updating its wide-bodied fleet of Airbus A340 and A330 aircraft with a two-class configuration. All of these planes in the Air Mauritius fleet are set to offer a business class seat that was introduced in July last year.
The upgrades are set to be completed by July 2008.
Speaking at the time of the first announcement, Air Mauritius chief executive officer Manoj RK Ujoodha said: "We will offer a new level of comfort to our upper class passengers as the seats are deployed on all our A340 and A330 aircraft."
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 12 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 ATR72-500s.
The A319-100 aircraft boast some impressive features, including substantial seat pitch, enlarged stowage bins and a personal audio system for passengers to enjoy during the flight.
Air Mauritius recently announced a great achievement in context of its fleet, with more than one million flight hours by its aircraft powered by CFM56-5B and CFM56-5C engines.
The engines have helped the airline grow from a single-aircraft operation to a carrier offering services to more than 26 destinations throughout Africa, Asia, Australia and Europe.

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.
The airline also contributes significantly to the export-orientated economy of Mauritius, carrying 42,000 tons of cargo each year through its Cargo division.
One of the biggest recent success for Air Mauritius came last year when it was nominated in the 'best airline based in Africa' category of the 2007 Official Airline Guide (OAG) Awards.
Commenting at the time, Mr Ujoodha said: "We are delighted with our nomination at the OAG Airline of the Year award. It also confirms our position as a leading airline in Africa.
"I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate the team for this achievement and hope that the reforms we have undertaken will transform the airline into a more performing airline and take us to greater heights."
This year, the airline will expand its flight network when it launches non-stop flights to Madrid from June 16th.
