Mauritius Air Explores Narrow-Body Jets in Fleet Overhaul

Air Mauritius is shifting focus to single-aisle aircraft as part of a strategic fleet review.

The state-owned airline is reevaluating its long-term strategy, with a focus on adding narrow-body jets to its fleet. This move comes amid a broader review of its aircraft acquisition plans, including the potential scaling back of wide-body plane purchases. Air Mauritius plays a vital role in the tourism-driven economy of Mauritius, operating around 130 weekly departures, which vary by season. The airline currently connects the island to key markets such as France, the UK, South Africa, and also serves destinations in Asia and Australia.
