The latest addition to our fleet, our A330neo, which came in this April, is a new generation aircraft. With the delivery of the A330neo, Air Mauritius becomes the first airline in the world to operate both the A350-900 and the A330neo.

It also gives enviable cabin space for an exclusive inflight experience - larger bins, more personal space and the latest generation inflight entertainment system, wifi connectivity in all classes, besides being the quietest cabin in its category!

This new generation aircraft is versatile and can efficiently serve markets on sectors from as short as 30 minutes, to over 15 hours flying time – making it a true long-range capable aircraft.  

We now take you through our two Airbus A330neo aircraft, called ‘Aapravasi Ghat’ and ‘Chagos Archipelago’ as a tribute to Mauritius’ historic heritage.

This aircraft is named Aapravasi Ghat in reference to Mauritius’ history. A UNESCO World Heritage site located in the district of Port Louis, Aapravasi Ghat is a vast 1,640 m2 site where the modern indentured labour diaspora began. In 1834, the British Government selected this area to play out the great experiment of ‘free’ labour.

Inspired by the island’s history in developing the sugar industry, our first A330neo is expected to pioneer Air Mauritius into a new threshold of efficiency and flexibility. 

Our new A330neo aircraft pays tribute to the struggle of the Chagossian community in their pursuit to regain sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago, which refers to a group of seven atolls comprising more than 60 individual tropical islands in the Indian Ocean.
