Air Mauritius: New Aeroplan partner

Update: March 14, 2022 (you can now earn Aeroplan points with Air Mauritius)

Aeroplan adds another partner! After the recent addition of Oman Air, here comes Air Mauritius is coming in.

Air Mauritius is the national carrier of Mauritius. The airline operates flights between MRU and its main hubs: Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle (CDG) and London-Heathrow (LHR).

But it also offers :

• Mumbai
• Johannesburg
• Madagascar
• Reunion
• Rodrigues Island

Through this partnership, Aeroplan is expanding its presence in the Indian Ocean region. As a result, it offers more space and choice in the sector’s high-end leisure destinations.

First, Air Mauritius was created in 1967, thanks to a partnership between Air France, British Airways and the government of Mauritius.

Its air fleet is composed of these aircraft:

• Airbus A330-900neo
• Airbus A350-900

• These flights may be combined with flights operated by Air Canada or other international airline partners

Mauritius is located in the Atlantic zone according to the Aeroplan reward chart.

Thus, it is necessary to calculate according to the distance travelled and the zones.

For example, in the Atlantic Zone, a flight between Paris (CDG) and Sir Sewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU) has a distance of 5,858 miles.

This means that it will cost :

• 35,500 points one-way economy class
• 60,000 points one-way in business class

From Canada, the greater of the distance between the North America Zone and the Atlantic Zone will apply:

• 70,000 one-way economy points
• 100,000 points one-way in business class

The addition of Air Mauritius follows very closely the one of Oman Air.

This is the tenth airline to join the program since June 2020. And it won’t end there as Aeroplan promises to announce more airline partners in the coming months. All bets are off!
