Air Mauritius Chooses Airbus for High-Tech Operational Support

Farnborough, United Kingdom, 24 July 2024 – Air Mauritius has selected Airbus’ Fleet Technical Management (FTM) services to boost the operational efficiency of its A350 and A330 fleet.

The airline has also chosen Airbus’ Design Studio for cabin interior design services and the latest generation business seats from Stelia Aerospace, a wholly owned subsidiary of Airbus Atlantic, to offer an enhanced passenger experience.

Under the agreement, Airbus FTM will provide Air Mauritius with key Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation (CAMO) activities, including engineering support to the Maintenance Control Center.

This will enable the airline to monitor the health of its fleet and implement solutions to improve airframe, aircraft systems, components, and engine reliability.

The enhanced aircraft performance will also lead to reduced maintenance costs and increased operational efficiency.

For its new direct order of A350 aircraft, Air Mauritius has chosen Airbus’ Design Studio to develop its cabin interior design, incorporating the latest trends and sustainable solutions.

The airline has also selected the Opera Business Class seats from Stelia Aerospace for its on-order A350 aircraft, offering passengers a premium travel experience.

The Opera widebody business class seats feature a reverse herringbone configuration and a fully integrated door, providing personalized spaces for passengers and a sense of grandeur.

“At Air Mauritius, customer satisfaction is our top priority,” said Charles Cartier, CEO of Air Mauritius.

“We are thrilled to announce that our Airbus A350-900 fleet will soon be expanded to seven state-of-the-art aircraft by 2026/27, with the delivery of three additional A350-900.

This strengthened partnership with Airbus marks a significant milestone for us as we equip our upcoming aircraft with the latest cabin technologies to elevate the customer experience with Air Mauritius to new heights of excellence.”

Airbus President and Managing Director for India and South Asia, Rémi Maillard, added:

“Air Mauritius is a vital link that connects this beautiful island nation to the world. The airline’s growing fleet boasts continued investments towards the economic development of the country. Airbus aircraft have been part of Air Mauritius’ growth journey for decades, and today we are even more proud that they have chosen our services to enhance their operations and elevate the comfort of their passengers.
