Farnborough: Air Mauritius has decided to expand and modernise its long-haul fleet with an outline agreement for four Airbus A350-900 aircraft, the national airline said on Wednesday.

The carrier's intention to buy Airbus planes valued at $1.36 billion (1.0 billion euros) at catalogue prices, was made at the Farnborough airshow near London. The airline added that it planned to lease two other wide-body A350-900s. "These highly comfortable and fuel-efficient aircraft will fit nicely into our existing Airbus fleet," said Air Mauritius chief executive Andries Viljoen.
