Air Mauritius (MK)<\/a> is the national airline of Mauritius and one of the country’s most important links with Africa, Europe, Asia and other international markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport, the airline operates a relatively small but diverse fleet, combining Airbus wide-body aircraft for long-haul services with ATR turboprops for regional and inter-island flying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Mauritius Pilot Salary in 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For pilots, Air Mauritius offers opportunities across both regional and long-haul operations. Its current fleet includes the Airbus A350-900, Airbus A330-900neo, Airbus A330-200 and ATR 72, giving pilots the opportunity to build experience<\/a> on modern Airbus aircraft or regional turboprops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline is also actively recruiting direct-entry first officers for its A330 and A350 fleet in 2026, with applications for the current vacancy open until 31 December 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Mauritius First Officer Salary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Air Mauritius first officer salaries vary according to fleet, seniority, experience and flying activity. Because the airline does not publish the complete 2026 salary scale publicly, an indicative range for a first officer is around MUR 120,000 to MUR 250,000 per month (approximately USD 2,700 to USD 5,600)<\/strong>, with the higher end applying to more experienced pilots and larger aircraft. This gives an estimated annual base salary of around MUR 1.44 million to MUR 3 million (approximately USD 32,000 to USD 67,000)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The overall package can be higher once flight-duty payments, allowances, the annual bonus and other contractual benefits are included. Air Mauritius’ current pilot recruitment information confirms that remuneration includes a base-pay component, flight-duty-related variable pay, a one-month end-of-year bonus and a gratuity equivalent to 25% of salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Mauritius Captain Salary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Air Mauritius captain salaries are significantly higher, particularly for pilots operating the airline’s Airbus A330 and A350 long-haul fleet. An indicative 2026 range is around MUR 350,000 to MUR 600,000 per month (approximately USD 7,800 to USD 13,400)<\/strong>, producing an estimated annual base salary of around MUR 4.2 million to MUR 7.2 million (approximately USD 94,000 to USD 161,000)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actual earnings can vary considerably depending on seniority, aircraft type, flight-duty activity and allowances. The current Air Mauritius pilot package also includes an end-of-year bonus equal to one month’s basic salary and a gratuity worth 25% of salary, meaning total annual compensation can be materially higher than the basic salary alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
