History

Foundation

Ltd., the general sales agent for Air France and BOAC in Mauritius.In the beginning, the carrier operated international services in conjunction with Air France, Air India and British Airways, which jointly had a 25% holding in Air Mauritius at that time.{{rp|1131}}{{rp|41}} Until 1972, the company restricted its activities to ground services only; it started flight operations in its own right in August 1972 with a six-seater Piper PA-31 Navajo aircraft leased from Air Madagascar, connecting Mauritius with Rodrigues.{{rp|41}} The aircraft wore an Air Mauritius decor, but kept a Malagasy registration.{{sfn|Guttery|1998|p=124}}In 1973, a wet-leased Vickers VC10 from British Airways enabled the company to launch a long-haul route to London via Nairobi,{{rp|41}}{{rp|474}} whereas services to Bombay were operated by Air India.{{sfn|Guttery|1998|p=124}} The Navajo was replaced with a 16-seater Twin Otter that was acquired in 1975. When an agreement with Air France and British Airways came to an end, a Boeing 707-400 wet-leased from British Airtours helped the airline to start long-haul services in its own right.{{sfn|Guttery|1998|p=124}} Long-range operations started on 1 November 1977.{{rp|1131}} A second Twin Otter arrived in 1979.{{sfn|Guttery|1998|p=124}}

Services expansion

By April 1980, the company had 414 employees and a fleet of one Boeing 707-420, one Boeing 737-200 and two Twin Otters to serve a route network of passenger and cargo services to Bombay, London, Nairobi, Réunion, Rodrigues, Rome and Tananarive. Ownership of the company had changed to have the government of Mauritius as the major shareholder (42.5%), followed by Rogers & Co. (17.5%), Air France and British Airways (15% each) and Air India (10%). Air Mauritius acquired a second-hand Boeing 707-320B in 1981. It had previously belonged to South African Airways (SAA), and permitted the airline to return the Boeing 707-400 to British Airtours. In November 1981, a joint service between Air Mauritius and Air Madagascar began in the Tananarive–Mauritius–Comoros–Nairobi and Réunion–Mauritius runs, following the lease of an Air Madagascar Boeing 737. During the early 1980s, routes to Durban and Johannesburg were inaugurated using Boeing 707-320B aircraft flown with Air India and British Airways crews. The incorporation of a second aircraft of the type, bought from Luxavia, allowed the carrier to expand the European route network to Rome and Zürich in 1983,{{sfn|Guttery|1998|p=124}} whereas Paris was added in the mid-1980s.{{sfn|Guttery|1998|p=125}} Leased from SAA, a Boeing 747SP named "Chateau de Réduit" entered the fleet in November 1984 and was deployed on services to London.{{sfn|Guttery|1998|p=125}} By March 1985, the fleet comprised two Boeing 707-320Bs, a Boeing 737-200, a Boeing 747SP and a Twin Otter. That month, the first of two Bell 206 JetRangers was incorporated.{{sfn|Guttery|1998|p=125}} In {{MONTHNAME|4}}, a 46-seater ATR 42 was ordered, and Singapore was added to the route network with a weekly service using Boeing 707 equipment. In {{MONTHNAME|6}} that year, Air Mauritius joined the African Airlines Association.{{sfn|Guttery|1998|p=125}} The carrier made a profit of GBP3.5 million for the fiscal year 1985–86.In 1986, a second Boeing 747SP that was also leased from SAA entered the fleet; it was named "Chateau Mon Plaisir". The incorporation of this aircraft allowed the carrier to phase out a Boeing 707.{{sfn|Guttery|1998|p=125}} In 1987, South African Airways' landing rights on Australian soil were suspended by the Australian government and Qantas ceased its operations in South Africa. There had been an increase in demand from businessmen since that time, as most passengers travelling from South Africa to Australia had to stop at Hong Kong, Taipei or Singapore. Given that landing rights in Australia for Air Mauritius had not been approved yet, a Boeing 747SP non-stop service to Hong Kong commenced on 29 October 1989, in cooperation with Cathay Pacific.{{sfn|Guttery|1998|p=125}} Flights to Kuala Lumpur had started in May 1988.{{sfn|Guttery|1998|p=125}}
