Air Mauritius Appoints New Chairman & 13 Board Members

In a significant development for Air Mauritius, Kremchand Beegoo has been appointed as the new chairman of the board. The announcement was made during a board meeting held on January 13, where the company also revealed its new board composition through an official statement.

The board now includes the following directors:

• Kremchand Beegoo (Chairman)
• Suresh Chundre Seeballuck, G.O.S.K.
• Appalsamy Thomas, G.O.S.K.
• Dheerendra Kumar Dabee, G.O.S.K., S.C.
• Ramapatee Gujadhur
• Jean Marie René Leclézio
• Foo Sui Siv Woo Shing Hui

• Joseph Edouard Charles Cartier (Current Chief Executive Officer)
• Shaukatally Oozeer

• Jean Daniel Philippe Labonne
• Kreeti Devi Jugasing-Harrah
• Devanand Dewkurun

Notably, Joseph Edouard Charles Cartier, who is the CEO of Air Mauritius, is also a member of the board. According to the company’s regulations, all CEOs are required to serve as board members.

It has been reported that the contract stipulates that once a person ceases to be a board director, they also automatically lose their position as CEO.

Interestingly, it is important to note that a director cannot be dismissed unilaterally by the company.

Any such decision must be voted on and approved by the shareholders during a general meeting.

Should a director be removed without following this procedure, they would be entitled to claim compensation equivalent to their earnings until the end of their contract, along with potential damages.

Additionally, a director cannot resign until a decision has been made at a general meeting.

This restructuring of the board marks a new chapter for Air Mauritius as it seeks to strengthen its leadership and strategic direction moving forward.
