Air Mauritius is the flag carrier of the Republic of Mauritius, serving international destinations across Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Indian Ocean region. Founded in 1967, the airline has long been the primary gateway for tourists and business travelers visiting the island nation. The airline operates out of Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport in Plaine Magnien and has historically focused on long-haul leisure routes connecting Mauritius to major European, Asian, and African cities. It has faced significant financial challenges in recent years, entering voluntary administration in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic before restructuring. Following its restructuring, Air Mauritius emerged with a leaner fleet and renewed focus on key routes. The airline is majority owned by the Government of Mauritius and Air France-KLM, and it continues to be a vital part of the island's tourism-dependent economy.
