Air Seychelles flies to more European destinations |28 January 2015

Air Seychelles continues to build its presence in Europe with the expansion of its codeshare agreement with Etihad Airways to include flights to Athens and Belgrade.

This brings to 12 the number of European cities available to Air Seychelles on Etihad Airways’ network including London and Manchester (United Kingdom), Frankfurt, Dusseldorf and Munich (Germany), Milan and Rome (Italy), Geneva and Zurich (Switzerland), Brussels (Belgium), Dublin (Ireland), and Paris (France).

Air Seychelles’ chief executive Manoj Papa said: “This expansion adds two important cities to our network, making Europe more accessible to our customers and strengthening our brand presence in this important region.

“It also builds on the hard work of the Seychelles government, which has signed new air services agreements with Greece and Serbia, and deepens our successful partnership with Etihad Airways.

“The expansion will strengthen feed onto our network, and boost trade and tourism in support of our mandate to be an economic enabler to the archipelago.”
Air Seychelles operates nine weekly Abu Dhabi-Seychelles services on a two-class aircraft, which combined with Etihad Airways’ four services a week, provides a near double-daily service between Seychelles and Abu Dhabi.

Travellers can book the new codeshare destinations through travel agents, Air Seychelles sales offices, or the Air Seychelles website on www.airseychelles.com.
