TOULOUSE, France -- Air Mauritius has taken delivery of its first A330-900, on lease from ALC, during a ceremony held in Toulouse. The national carrier of the Republic of Mauritius is the first A330neo operator based in the southern hemisphere, and the first airline in the world to operate a combination of both the A330neo and A350 XWB.
The aircraft - named Aapravasi Ghat in reference to Mauritius’ history - will feature a two-class cabin with 28 business class seats and 260 economy class seats. The carrier will deploy the aircraft on routes connecting Mauritius to Europe (mainly London and Geneva), India and South East Asian routes and on regional destinations including Johannesburg, Antananarivo and Reunion Island.
Air Mauritius currently operates nine Airbus aircraft, including two A350-900s, three A340-300s, two A330-200s and two A319s, on its regional and long haul services.
The A330neo is powered by Rolls-Royce’s latest-generation Trent 7000 engines and features a new wing with increased span and new A350 XWB-inspired Sharklets.
