Since then, Air Mauritius has been promoting its new corporate identity. And today the company is pleased to see its logo truly take flight as the first Airbus A340-300 of the Air Mauritius fleet, sporting the new livery of the airline, goes into service.

Air Mauritius embarked last year into a complete reconfiguration of its cabin interior with new lie-flat seats in business class as well as a new design scheme inspired by local colours.

The company also reinforced its collaboration with Air France so as to offer its passengers a wider choice of destinations.

All these initiatives put into perspective the strategy of the airline and confirm its leading position in the Indian Ocean and as a key player in the island’s tourism industry.

Air Mauritius is committed to contributing to the success of tourism through constant improvement in the quality of its service and the level of its performance.

It is the aim of Air Mauritius is to renew the livery of the whole fleet in the next two years and it will also give an impetus to the all-round efforts to re-energize the company of Air Mauritius.
