An Air Mauritius Airbus A330-200 at Perth Airport in 2014.

Air Mauritius was set up in June 1967.[1] The airline had no aircraft at the beginning, and in January 1972, Air India started flying the Port Louis–Bombay–Port Louis run on Air Mauritius' behalf using Boeing 707 aircraft; this was Air Mauritius' first route.[2] At July 1980, the carrier's network consisted of Bombay, London, Nairobi, Réunion, Rodrigues, Rome and Tananarive.[3]

Shanghai became the 26th destination served by the company in early July 2011.[4] During 2012, the airline suspended its services to Frankfurt, Geneva, Melbourne, Milan and Sydney.[5] At April 2013, the airline's five top routes in terms of available seats were Mauritius–Reunion, Mauritius–Paris, Mauritius–Johannesburg, Mauritius–Antananarivo and Mauritius–London; the biggest international markets served by the carrier in terms of seat capacity were Southern Africa and Western Europe.[5]

Following is a list of destinations Air Mauritius flies to according to their passenger scheduled services, as of October 2018.[6] The table below provides each country served along with the destinations the airline flies to, as well as the name of the airports served.
