Air Seychelles, the national airline of the Republic of Seychelles, has increased the frequency of its Mumbai– Seychelles service to cater for growing demand from business and leisure travellers. The current three-per-week service between Mumbai and Seychelles has been enhanced with a fourth weekly flight that will continue to be operated on an Airbus A320 aircraft with 16 business class and 120 economy class seats.
Air Seychelles has also upgraded its Mauritius service to four flights-per-week and will enhance Antananarivo to three flights-per-week from July 3, 2015, providing travellers with convenient and flexible travel options across the Indian Ocean.
Manoj Papa, chief executive officer, Air Seychelles said, “We are delighted to strengthen our service into India, one of the world’s fastest-growing travel markets. Our enhanced schedule provides guests with multiple flights from Mumbai to Seychelles every week, as well as appealing connections between our archipelago and the wider Indian Ocean, East Africa and the Middle East. As Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit indicated, India and Seychelles have very close cultural, diplomatic and commercial ties, which we will continue to strengthen with our upgraded service.”
Air Seychelles also codeshares on 21 weekly Etihad Airways services between Mumbai and Abu Dhabi that connect onto return flights to Seychelles, offering guests from India the opportunity of combining a trip to the world-famous archipelago with a stopover in Abu Dhabi.
