AIRBUS A350-900

The Airbus 350-900, first delivered in 2017, is our flagship aircraft mainly serving our long haul routes.

With the two Airbus A350-900 delivered in 2017 while we celebrated our  50th anniversary, we reinforced our leadership position marking the beginning of a new chapter for Air Mauritius. The two aircraft were named Le Morne Brabant and Pieter Both. 

The Airbus A350-900, which is the new flagship aircraft of Air Mauritius, is the latest generation aircraft equipped with best-in-class cabin products such as full flat seats in business class, a more comfortable economy class cabin, a state-of-the-art inflight entertainment system with full HD screens and inflight connectivity in all classes. 

The aircraft is also equipped with a number of special features including a quieter cabin, an array of mood lighting options and a lower cabin altitude that all contribute to enhancing the travel experience and reducing jet lag. 

The name Le Morne Brabant given to our first A350-900 was inspired by a majestic basaltic mountain found in the south west of the country. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that carries a cultural significance for the people of Mauritius as it is associated with the freedom from slavery of Mauritians of African origin.

Pieter Both was inspired by the most iconic mountain in Mauritius and its second highest, named after the first Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies.
