Air Mauritius and the A330??
Here's the link: http://www.airbus.com/en/corporate/orders_and_deliveries/ The A330 would be a good fit for MK IMHO - let's see what develops.

A330 Converted order from the cancel of A340, It would replace the ageing 767-200. Good for them b'se A330 will fit and it is the most popular Widebody available in the market.

Hi there, This is a good move, however only one aircraft ??? surely not. Air Mauritius require at least two or three more of these aircraft for future development of new and service exisiting routes. I would however order the -300 series over the -200 series. Greg

-300 have lack of range than -200. Not only that -200 would replace 767-200 unlike -300 would compete with 340-300 but lack of range.

According to the MK website, 2 A332s will join the fleet (the 1st A332 will arrive in Q4 of 2007 I think, the 2nd will join in Oct 2009). One of the options for an A343E has been 'traded in' for the A332, which is not great news for the A343E. The first 2 A343E's will be joining the fleet in Nov and Dec this year.

Hi Everyone, Poor forward planning on MKs part, those two 762s are well passed their use by dates, with MK being the only B762 operator into OZ. Lets hope they can last another couple of years before heading to scrap heap, I feel that a market for second hand 762s in 2009 will make them almost worthless... Greg

What about Austrian, VIE-SIN-MEL, that was 762 when I took it last year March?
