With headquarters in Port Luis, Air Mauritius is the national flag carrier airline of Mauritius. Air Mauritius is the 4th largest carrier in Sub-Saharan Africa and has been the winner of the "Indian Ocean Leading Airline Prize” for 7 consecutive years. Air Mauritius operates a network of 20 destinations across Africa, Asia, Europe, The Middle East and Oceania. In 2014 the airline carried close to 1.4 million passengers at a load rate of 78%.
