Pilotes, Steward et hotesses de l'air qui travail a Air Mauritius gagne mari beaucoup cash. Zot gagne beaucoup allowance, et reste dans belle belle l'hotel aussi. Ala cotte cash aller. Eski en ti mauricien capave afford ene billet avion.

De toute faon au sein de l'administration, a a t toujours la cour de recration.Banne gros poissons continuent a profiter crise ou pas crise, dans tout a c'est toujours le voyageur qui subit les consquences. Si zotte baisse zotte tarif dimoune ti pou prioritise compagnie nationale la plutot que la concurrence, pluto qui avion a moiti plein, faire banne tarif qui ti dimoune aussi capave profiter. Adminstrateurs de la compagnie croire qui Air Mauritius est a l 'abri, eh beh non c'est un peu comme la cigale et la fourmis, pendant le beau temps li amus et aprs li pleur, faire croire qui li pena casse, arrete prend nous pou imbecile.

It is true to say that India and China in particular cannot substitute Europe in terms of providing tourists to Mauritius.Indian and Chinese citizens are usually very americanized in their thinking and will more likely opt to visit America/Europe instead.Furthermore,Indians do have more of their kins settled in Canada and the US.However,what one fails to understand is what MK and other airlines do with the exorbitant taxes that they collect every time they sell a ticket.For example,on a price ticket of 371.00 London to Mauritius,a surcharge tax of 300.00 has to be forked out by the passenger and that's the cost of the outbound leg of a return ticket!The question is,who is really pocketing money through the bleeding of air travel passengers ,year in,year out!Surely the exorbitance taxes forked out by the passengers should have taken care of the fuel charges!Condor Flugdienst charges 20 Euros per passenger to meet its fuel surcharge cost!

ena 2 point s important : Ki faire sud afracain besoin gre nou compagnie National, ena beaucou mauricien capave travaille, Manoj Ojaadah, Deve Ponossamy ? Et billet comparer avec British Airways et Emirates li trop cher. Normal banne mauricien pou prend les autres compagnie, li pas normal, Genve Maurice Rs 57.000 et banne l'quipage trop arrogant, zot manque exprience.

Je reprends ce passage dans l'article : "la France, la Grande-Bretagne et lItalie, pensent deux fois avant douvrir leurs cordons de leurs bourses" et on peut aussi ajout la suisse,c'est normale, par exemple, les dpart de Milan, Lyon, offre un tarifs nettement plus bas, ex. je parle ici car ma fille voyag avec une compagnie depuis Milan avec sa fille de 8 ans pour 1'200 euros au mois d'octobre en plein priode vacances scolaire, mme avec le transport pour se rendre ces aroports c'est plus avantageux, et il a encore Emirates qui offre des tarifs plus bas, mais certe il y a des escales, mais bon si on se rend pour 2 3 semaines on peut se permettre de faire ces escales...

Li choquant pu tanne dire ki Air.Mtius pe fair la perte de Rs 248.8 millions,apres 8ans mo fine voyage a bord Air-mtius de londres a maurice,et mo pu dire ki re jamais mo pu voyager ar zot.service a bord zero,ou paye 717 pu le traget,avion la serrer,ou gagne crampe,zero confort,menu da dife net,servi ou cuma dire oiseau pe manger,ou rode ene ti kitchose pendant ca traget la,zot dire pena narien,mem ene ti biscuit zot pena pu donne ou.Malgre ki ou fine payer pu ca ban service la ou pa gagne satisfaction ar zot...pu breakfast gramatin donne ou ene ti croissant rassi,ene pain au chocolat aigre,ene tigit salad fruit et dite ou cafe...apres zot dire pe fair perte,zot pe coquin passager et boucou dimoune pu aret voyager ar zot si zot continuer coumsa...jamais mo pu re voyage ar Air-Mtius encore...zot ena ene tas pu al apprane pu ki zot capav vine couma ene Emirates,ou ene British Airways....zot get profit avant ki zot gette satisfaction ban dimoune ki voyage a bord zot avion,Juste quand zot fair perte ki zot crier,quand pe fair profit ou pa tander lerla..

Generally the prices charged by MK nowadays are really exorbitant.. In Europe MK charges more than British Airways and Air France for a return ticket to Mauritius. No wonder why many people are substituting their trip to Mauritius by these other airlines. Even Mauritians nowadays prefer to avoid MK completely.. And lets not talk about service on MK : this is another issue. You know what I mean.

wow, tout sa cash MK prend lor passager la, la aussi zot faire perte....la zot pe prendmauricien pou couyon encore... cash la ine allepar ladans poche ti copains.... which other airline charges a re-booking fee in the world???? only MK that i know....

Other airlines provide cheaper fares compared to Air Mauritius. Unless other airlines are not serving the routes then you are obliged to take Air Mauritius. Passengers are fairly treated on other airlines. Travelling by other airlines is really fun, I travel by other airlines only because they provide the best service. The crew really sucks!

Book a ticket 3 months in advance toparis, on corsair, you will get a price that nearly half of that of air Mauritius at the same moment! 675 Euro net! with Air Mauritius @ almost 1200! The PM will reconsider now his decision to go ahead with his plan to liberalize the airspace, otherwise, Air Mauritius will go bankrupt!

After reading the comments,it appears that a formal look of MK' finances,must take place.And in public too!Bank statements of MK around the world need to be perused!Bonuses and other expenses on staff need to be made public!All limousines be removed from management staff!They do not really need a limousine to go to work...although they should be allocated the cash for an average saloon car!If any MK staff member feels that he or she needs an Aston Martin,for example,they can top up their car allowance,from their own pocket!The Opposition must wake up and ask for an immediate audit of MK's financial situation!Enough is enough!This is no reflection on the actual acting CEO and by the way his nationality matters not!His experience does matter!MK's problems predate the current acting CEO by years of incompetence and corruption all under Mauritian maestros!!!Just check CWA,STC,CEB etc..One puzzling question though is whether Government officials do pay ttheir fares,through their individual departments,when they go travel on official business or on overseas leave?MK must move away from the business of subsidising the Mauritian hotel industry,when they offer seats to those hotels for a pittance!So far MK and the hotel industry have got away with this obnoxious practice,by bleeding Mauritian passengers travelling mainly from Europe!It's time too that charter flights are allowed in during the peak seasons,for both Mauritian and European passengers!The up market option does not hold water any more!!

"You only find out who is swimming naked when the tide goes out". Warren Buffet befittingly stated the aforementioned to refer to leaders who hide behind circumstances to cover up their incompetence and ineffectiveness but are quick to steal all credits when things go right. As secretary of the Listed Companies Small Shareholders Association and a patriot, I would request that there is a full-fledged and in depth debate at national level with relevant stakeholders on the true state of Air Mauritius ( & other ailing government-owned institutions) , its Leaderships, Business model, Organizational Structure, Board Members & Top Management Performance Evaluation and Good Governance & Accountability mechanisms. If it is understood that it is the Prime Minister s office that has the final say about the salvation and prevention from untimely demise of the national airline, then it is of utmost urgency that the person with the right knowledge of the aviation industry and the perfect understanding of the rules and grammar ( internal culture & politics) of our national airline get to brief the Prime Minister ( him alone) about the true state of the national airline and how to go about turning it around.. not only from the mere balance sheet standpoint but at the core of its organizational and work culture , for the long term resilience and adaptability of the company to more challenging external threats. We have already lost precious opportunities and resources in bluffing our way out in good times. But this second chance for rescue might not come if we do not wake up NOW and adopt a comprehensive stringent master plan to address the issues of effective Leadership at Corporate and departmental levels, Revival of Board Independence & Effectiveness through Good Governance, Accountability & Performance Assessments Mechanisms, Coherent Organizational Structure aligned with Business and Operational needs of the national airline, Optimum use of Resources to meet the Business and Service Oriented Needs of the organization and its customers. Zero tolerance of all forms of wastages at every level of the hierarchy by scrutinizing all Procurement, Recruitment exercises and eliminating unproductive Work Practices (both local and at Outations). To reinforce Trust in its business Culture and Ethics, MK should study the feasibility and legality of effectively enlisting the services of the Government Audit as its external Auditor and the assistance/guidance of the Central Procurement Board for its Procurement activities and monitoring. Lastly, as a way to render the Board and Executive Management more accountable for its actions , a joint Parliamentary Ethics & Performance Committee should be set up to review periodically the performances and value-added of all State-owned enterprises. At least, if the above actions would not increase revenue in the present challenging context, it will certainly keep a lid on cost and ensure financial discipline on a permanent basis. rajramlu@hotmail.co.uk

jamais mo pou gagne compran ar zot zistoire pertes la???? mo habite en france billet tou le tan li koute entre 1000 et 1500 ero et jamais ena place tous le tan agence de voyaz dir ki fully book pena place me zot en pertes mem??? explik nou sa n kou do?????

Le probleme principal est le nombre exagere d'employes de MK. La plupart d'entre eux sont des proteges politiques ou bien sont entres grace a des connections de cousins, tontons, tantines, etc. qui sont deja sur place. Allez jeter un coup d'oeil sur le staff list et vous verrez le nombre de personnes appartenant aux memes familles et aux memes cercles de networking. C'est un vrai pillage de ressources financieres car en plus, les employes (incl. les stewards et hotesses) sont tres grassement remuneres, sans compter les nombreux billets gratuits pour les membres de la famille de chaque employe! Donc, que ce soit Viljoen ou un autre a la tete, tant qu'on ne prend pas des mesures drastiques pour reduire tout ce staff surnumeraire aux salaires et avantages princiers, MK continuera a enregistrer des pertes.

@Veritas: Li bon ce qui ou fine dire, mo ena l'impression ki jamais ou faire erreur dans ou la vie, you must be a perfect guy, faute de frappe li arriver, Le problme La caisse noir par Harry Tirvengadum, jamais nou ti penser ene dimoune capave mette nou compagnie national dans trou. Mo d'accord avec ou hedging etc,etc. lire banne les autres commentaire et ou pou comprend ce ki mauricien penser lors Air Mauritius. Mo pas p agir couma mercnaire c'est la ralit. Compare prix billet Emirates, British Airways aprs ou pou comprend, l'argent li pas tombe du ciel, nou obliger compter Mo prefere economise Rs 10.000 ki mo alle paye Air Mauritius pou ene service aussi ridicule.

Air Mauritius p trouve tonnant qui bane arrives p baisser... li en baisse zis pou zot !!! b normale zot billets trop chers mo dakor zot bizin tire zot frais mais pas cumsa... touristes p pren billets ek lot compagnies, pour prix 1 billet ek MK ou p gagne 2 billets avec le zot compagnies pour Maurice.

@ Raj, sorry mo bourzois pu mo bannes mots inpe fort. Ena tellement mercenaires ek bootlickers dan nu pays ki parfois nu kapave slip dan nu commentaires. Maiintenant mo compran nu lor meme longueur d'onde concernanr maja karo dan Air Mauritius. Zis bannes politicens ek PMO ki pa enkor compran veritable racine pagaille dan MK. Esperons nu zeffort ensem pu capave fer zotte trouve la realite et agir vite pu mette l'ordre dan PEQ.

@Veritas: Mo entirement d'accord avec ou p ena juste mercenaire mais galement banne requin, Neo ena raison, si ou conne banne ministre ou rentrer sans problme comme steward et la pluspart banne famille fine parpiller, ce qui mriter pas rentrer, diplome p ena aucun valeur, figure ki compter. Billet extra cher avec Air Mauritius. Depuis Londres Air Seychelles ou British Airways vaut la peine. So prix interessant Si ena choix pou paye moins cher, mo pense pas ki dimoune la couillon pou alle perdi l'argent. la vie li dur et nous obliger compter. Govt Maurice ki besoin corrige sa banne dfaut l et tire Air Mauritius dans problme. P ena pou guet tonton tantine,cousin etc.

Les prix sont tellement chers et ont tellement augment au cours de ces deux dernires annes. Nous sommes une famille avec 2 enfants et avons fait des recherches pour trouver les billets les moins pour le mois daot 2012 partir de Londres. Il sest avr quAir Mauritius tait les plus chers. Donc nous nous sommes dirigs vers Emirates qui a nous cot 500 de moins. Alors tant pis si nous nutilisons pas la compagnie nationale et que nous avons une escale Dubai, car au final tout ce qui nous importait ctait avoir un bon rapport qualit prix quAir Mauritius na pas t capable de nous apporter.

Guys, for how long shall we keep on harping and extenuating ourselves on the fate of Air Mauritius? Who really care in the government and in politics to shake up the defiant arrogance of this company, its Board , its top management and even many of its employees? How do you want change and improvement to come about when the CEO 's post is deliberately being left vacant for months ( for unexplained reasons), incompetent top management buddies are allowed to retire WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT at every turn of a damning report & scandals , when the Chairman of the Board is a mere figure head ( puppet) and rubber stamp working under the dictates of a shadow Board lead by one guy ( K. Beeghoo) who was pushed out of the company some years back following a damning report by the Audit department, how can a board member (R Ringdgoo) who failed in his duty in the Risk Committee during the hedging debacle conduct an enquiry himself into the same matter as Chairman of the Audit Committee, let alone his involvement in the incident on board a flight that led to Robert Ahnees Fact Finding Committee... Do you want me to go on with the list ..... cases of conflict of interest and nepotism are rampant..But in a country where people find it normal and acceptable that a Public Listed Company with due Shareholders should leave it to a Prime Minister to decide on any petty matter concerning the national airline, what else can you expect? And we dare say that institutions are allowed to function freely and independently in this country? What a grotesque joke! Mr Ramlugan is right . If the final decisions rest with the Prime Minister, let him be properly briefed on how to shake up this company by person with no hidden or personal conflicting interest or agendas so that either Viljoen and Tapossea assume their positions and deliver or else they go together with all the rotten heads in Board and top management. Otherwise, it will keep on being like le chien aboie et la caravane passe .

As a Mauritian residing overseas, I rarely travel with MK. Evertime I try to make a booking on MK I get the most exorbitant price. I really cannot understand how come a company behaving like a monopoly situation in Maurtius (having all the airline routes in Asia/Australia/RSA) and still making losses. Can someone explain me? I am at a total loss.......!!!!

iT IS THIS CARTEL,THAT'S RUN BY BA,MK,AND EMIRATESTHAT NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF!THEY APPEAR TO BE RUNNING A PRICE FIXING REGIMEMPARTICULARLY DURING PEAK TIMES!ALL THREE AIRLINES SERVUCES ,ON BOARD LEAVE A LOT TO BE DESIRED!AND NO DOUBT THAT MK IS BEHIND THE PRICE HIKING SCANDAL!THE ANSWER IS TO OPEN THE MAURITIUS SKY!

They need to cut costs - how much does the CEO and the board get in salaries and bonuses? Why put staff in 5 star resorts? Why give staff free tickets? Spend the money on the passengers and decrease the cost of the tickets instead of wasting it on staff.
