CONNECTING TO THE FUTURE 

With the acquisition of two Airbus A350-900 in 2017 on the occasion of its 50th anniversary, Air Mauritius has reinforced its leadership and positioning in the Indian Ocean.

The Airbus A350-900, which is the new flagship aircraft of Air Mauritius, is a latest generation aircraft equipped with best in class cabin products namely full flat seats in business class, a roomier and more comfortable economy class cabin, a state-of-the-art inflight entertainment system with full HD screen and inflight connectivity in all classes. The aircraft is also equipped with a number of special features including a quieter cabin, an array of mood lighting options and a lower cabin altitude that all contribute to enhancing travel experience and reducing jet lag. 

With this acquisition, Air Mauritius becomes the 1st operator in the Indian Ocean (the 2nd operator in Africa). 

The introduction of the A350-900, named “Le Morne Brabant”, represents the beginning of a new chapter for Air Mauritius. It is a key for Air Mauritius to offer a unique in-flight experience, demonstrating its move upmarket and also contributing to position the company as the preferred airline to Mauritius.

Well-being

New features leading to an Xtra flight experience, contributing to passenger comfort and significant reduction of jet lag effect

• The air management systems help passengers to enjoy a more relaxing flight. Total cabin air is renewed every two to three minutes in a draft-free environment at the optimum temperature and with 20% more fresh air. 
  
• Passengers will not only feel the difference, but also see the difference with a full LED ambient lighting. The possibility to choose from 16.7 million colours allows for the creation of individual mood lighting ambiances to foster well-being for passengers through every phase of their flight. Lighting scenarios, mimicking natural sunrise and sunset help reduce the effects of jet-lag.
  
• Lower cabin altitude (max 6,000 feet at cruise level vs 8,000 feet in aluminium fuselage aircraft) 
  
• Xtra quiet flights: The A350 XWB offers the quietest twin-aisle cabin in the sky, with four times less noise energy in premium class.

Comfort
