Air Mauritius (MK) has officially announced the appointment of Mr. Andre Viljoen as its next Chief Executive Officer, effective October 15, 2025.

“On behalf of the Board and the entire Fiji Airways Group, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Andre for his outstanding leadership over the past 10 years. Under his stewardship, Fiji Airways has undergone a remarkable transformation.”
