About Us
As an integral part of Air Mauritius business, much emphasis is laid on the sustained development and enhancement of cargo transportation. Investment in wide bodied long range A340 and A330 aircraft is proof of our continued and expanded commitment to air cargo transportation.



Some Facts & Figures
  • Cargo revenue represents about 15% of the company turnover
  • Air Mauritius serves 24 destinations on 4 continents
  • Over 80 weekly flights on wide-bodied aircraft
The purpose-built automated Cargo Terminal at SSR International Airport fully caters for the existing exports and transit traffic and can accommodate a further 25 percent growth. Separate storage rooms are available for perishables, dangerous goods, vulnerable and valuable freight. Besides the Terminal houses, both the Handling Agents & Customs offices are of added value in the fast and efficient handling of all shipments.

The strategic location of Mauritius, coupled with its outstanding handling facilities, make it a major transit hub for Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands. As a move forward, Air Mauritius has recently invested in modern infrastructure and in state-of-the-art equipment to accommodate and facilitate transshipment of cargo traffic. At Air Mauritius, we offer a seamless logistics value-chain to our customers, for instance enabling ramp-to-ramp transfer at international standard within 90 minutes.

‘Sita Cargowise’, one of the best automated computer cargo systems, is used to ensure that real time information is available to our customers at all times. This computerised system provides the following facilities: bookings, airway bill data capture, rating, ULD management and tracking of consignments.
