Air Mauritius opts for latest Airbus
Air Mauritius is upgrading its long-haul fleet by signing for four A350-900 aircraft.
The airline has also announced that it is leasing two more A350-900s. The six A350 XWB will be operated on European, Asian and Australian routes.
“It is the game-changer we were looking for,” said Andries Viljoen, chief executive of Air Mauritius.
“The A350 XWB, combined with the A330, suits Air Mauritius’ entire long-range network and will be key to modernising our fleet while significantly reducing our operational costs and environmental footprint.”
The A350 XWB is Airbus’ all-new mid-size long-range product line comprising three versions offering from 276 to 369 seats.
