Air Mauritius suspends seven managers and refers fleet probe to FCC, police

Air Mauritius suspended seven managers and formally referred findings from Kroll’s independent forensic investigation into five aircraft sold during its 2020/21 voluntary administration to the Financial Crimes Commission and police. The board reviewed the report on 25 and 29 June 2026, which identified Rs1.2bn in losses and potential misconduct linked to two A340-300s, two A319-100s, and one A330-200. Suspensions are precautionary to protect investigation integrity, not disciplinary sanctions. The airline now shifts from internal review to external legal action, signaling stricter governance and potential criminal or civil consequences for past fleet disposal decisions during corporate distress.
