CEO Somas Appavou states: "This new route will reinforce our regional service while providing enhanced connectivity onto our global network.

"Our two countries are world-class tourist destinations, but as islands, we also share similar challenges like the size of our home markets, as well as our geographical remoteness. Bringing our islands closer through better air connectivity is key to overcoming such challenges."

Flight schedules for the Mauritius-Seychelles service have been designed to optimise connecting possibilities for passengers through the Mauritius hub. This includes the flux of business and leisure traffic to and from Madagascar, Reunion, South Africa and Australia. Reinforced air Services between Mauritius and Seychelles also offer the option to combine these two destinations into two-centre holiday packages.
