Air Mauritanie was established in September
1962 and started operations in October 1962. It took over the limited regional services previously flown by
Air France and UAT-Airmaritime. With the help of
Spantax, a Spanish airline, Air Mauritanie started services in
1963 using
Fokker F27 Friendships. The 1980s saw international routes to
Las Palmas and
Dakar added. In
1983 Fokker F28 Fellowship jets were added to the fleet and in
1996 ATR-42 aircraft were purchased. Since then
Boeing 737s have been introduced. Air Mauritanie is
currently prohibited from flying into the
United Kingdom, because of evidence that they are not receiving adequate regulatory oversight from their national aviation authority (June 2005).

2006):
*Domestic scheduled destinations: [Nouadhibou-Nouakchott] 3 per week].
