We now take you through our two Airbus A330-900neo aircraft, called ‘Aapravasi Ghat’ and ‘Chagos Archipelago’ as a tribute to Mauritius’ historic heritage.

This aircraft is named Aapravasi Ghat in reference to Mauritius’ history. A UNESCO World Heritage site located in the district of Port Louis, Aapravasi Ghat is a vast 1,640 m2 site where the modern indentured labour diaspora began. In 1834, the British Government selected this area to play out the great experiment of ‘free’ labour.

Inspired by the island’s history in developing the sugar industry, our first A330neo is expected to pioneer Air Mauritius into a new threshold of efficiency and flexibility. 

Our new A330-900neo aircraft pays tribute to the struggle of the Chagossian community in their pursuit to regain sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago, which refers to a group of seven atolls comprising more than 60 individual tropical islands in the Indian Ocean.
