Air Mauritius to debut A350 on JNB route in November

AIR MAURITIUS is set to debut the
first of its six new A350-900s on
major routes, including Mauritius to
Johannesburg, later this year.
The first A350-900, which is still
under construction, will land in
Johannesburg for the first time on
November 18.
Wouter Nel, sales and marketing
manager of Air Mauritius Southern
Africa, says the A350 will mainly fly
on the Mauritius – Paris route, but will
also serve the Mauritius – London and
Mauritius – Johannesburg routes.
Of the six new A350-900 aircraft, four
will be purchased directly from Airbus
and two will be leased from AerCap.
The aircraft will have a two-class
configuration, with 28 business-class
seats and 298 economy-class seats.
