 Air Mauritius confirms order for three A350 aircraft


Air Mauritius has confirmed an order for three A350 aircraft to expand its network in Europe and

South Asia.

The three latest generation aircraft will bring Air Mauritius’ A350 fleet to a total of seven. The

airline already operates four A350 and four A330 Airbus aircraft. 

"Air Mauritius is proud to renew its confidence in Airbus and its products, continuing a three-

decade long partnership. The additional A350-900 aircraft will help us strengthen our European

network and secure further growth in other markets. We are looking forward to achieving our

ambitious objectives together with Airbus," said Mr Kresimir Kucko, CEO of Air Mauritius. 

“We compliment Air Mauritius on putting the A350 at the heart of its long-haul fleet

modernisation programme. With greater range capability, better economics, passenger capacity

and comfort, the A350 is the perfect platform to connect the beautiful island of Mauritius to the

world," said Christian Scherer, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of International at Airbus.

The A350 is the world’s most modern and efficient widebody aircraft and the long range leader

in the 300-410 seater category. The A350 offers the longest range capability of any commercial

airliner Family in production today with a range of up to 9,700nm non-stop. 

The A350’s clean sheet design includes state-of-the-art technologies and aerodynamics

delivering unmatched standards of efficiency and comfort. Its new generation engines and use

of lightweight materials make it the most fuel efficient large widebody aircraft. The A350 is the

quietest aircraft in its class with 50 percent noise footprint reduction vs the previous generation

aircraft.
