Mauritania Airlines International (MAI) is the national flag carrier of Mauritania, established to provide air connectivity for the country following the collapse of earlier national carriers. The airline operates scheduled passenger services linking Nouakchott with destinations across West Africa, North Africa, and Europe. The carrier was created to fill the void left by Air Mauritanie, which ceased operations in 2010 after years of financial difficulties. Mauritania Airlines International has worked to rebuild international connectivity for the country, serving both business and leisure travelers. The airline operates with a modest fleet and has faced the typical challenges of building a sustainable national carrier in a competitive regional market, including fleet modernization and route expansion efforts.
