Air Mauritius has started twice weekly operations to Amsterdam today the 26th of March 2018.The
flights will operate on Mondays and Fridays with an Airbus A 340 with 34 Business and 264 Economy
Class seats. A third weekly flight will be added on Wednesdays during the peak months of July and
August.

The flights will be operated in collaboration with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Air France. To recall,
KLM kicked off these joint operations in October 2017 with three weekly flights between Amsterdam
and Mauritius.

“The start of operations to Amsterdam is part of our plan to develop a second hub in Europe. Many of
our key routes have been built on the strong historical ties we share with the countries we operate to.
Our history with the Netherlands is more than four centuries old. Mauritius was indeed named after
Prince Maurits of Nassau, during the Dutch settlement in 1598. Today Schiphol Airport, the home
base of our partner KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, gives us access to 50 code share destinations all over
Europe. We expect Amsterdam to develop into an important hub in our network, particularly for
passengers from Nordic and East European countries. This will contribute to boost tourist arrivals to
Mauritius”, stated Somas Appavou, CEO.

Air Mauritius’ main hub in Europe is Paris from where it offers nearly 40 code share destinations in
Europe, with partner Air France. Air Mauritius and the Air France/KLM group have built close ties
over the years, Air France having been an important partner indeed since Air Mauritius was
incorporated in 1967. In 1998 the two airlines signed a collaborative agreement to jointly operate the
Mauritius – Paris route. This agreement was extended and reinforced in 2008 and 2014.

Air Mauritius will operate 2 weekly frequencies on Mondays and Fridays throughout the Northern Summer of 2018. A third flight will be operated on Wednesdays during the peak period corresponding to July and August.
