MAURITANIA: Mauritania Airlines International To Upgrade Aircrafts

Mauritania Airlines International, airline based in Nouakchott, Mauritania, serving as flag carrier of the country, is looking to replace its two of its three Boeing 737 aircraft with a pair of newer Boeing 737-800 airliners, with delivery later this year.

The carrier currently has two Boeing 737-500, one Boeing 737-700 and one Embraer ERJ-145 aircraft in its fleet of 4 aircraft.

Mauritania Airlines International is also discussing with Embraer an order for more ERJ-145 aircraft.

Mauritania Airlines International was set up in December 2010 in response to the demise of Mauritania Airways.

Mauritania Airlines International operates short- and medium-haul flights from its base at Nouakchott International Airport (NKC).

Mauritania Airlines flies to many destinations including Cotonou, Brazzaville, Abidjan, Conakry, Bamako, Zouerat, Nouadhibou, Nouakchott, Casablanca, Dakar and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
