Air Exel, which flies services for the Dutch flag carrier in Europe as KLM Exel, will transfer two of its six 46-seat ATR 42s and two 50-seat Embraer ERJ-145 regional jets to the new airline.

Air Exel was formed to provide short-haul air services. Equipment will include two 50-seat Embraer 145 jets and two 46-seat ATR 42 turboprops.

Air Mauritius has expanded its partnership with Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance to include component support for its ATR 72 turboprops.
