Air Mauritius restructuring and financial recovery

Overview

Air Mauritius CEO André Viljoen introduced a ten-step strategic roadmap titled “Future-Fit Game Changer Strategies” to revitalize the national carrier. This plan focuses on consolidating organizational foundations, modernizing the fleet through potential narrow-body aircraft acquisitions, and revising destination networks to meet commercial demand. Other objectives include streamlining internal processes, enhancing passenger experience, and potentially establishing an aeronautical academy to reduce training costs.

Following these strategic efforts, the airline reported an annual profit of Rs 4.1 billion for the 2025–2026 financial year. This performance, aided by favorable fuel prices and accounting adjustments regarding pandemic-era ticket refunds and travel vouchers, returned the company’s equity to positive territory, estimated at Rs 1.37 billion. Despite the recovery, leadership warned that rising fuel costs in the upcoming financial year may pose challenges that passenger fares might not fully offset.
