Air Seychelles recognizes long-serving staff

Air Seychelles proudly recognized the dedication and commitment of its long-serving staff during a special ceremony held during the airline’s annual staff party on Saturday 07 December 2024 at the Berjaya Beau Vallon Bay Hotel. This joyous occasion celebrated 31 employees who have reached significant milestones in their careers, with 21 of them present to receive accolades for their unwavering service.

The event honoured staff who have dedicated between 10 to 35 years to the airline, showcasing their loyalty and contributions that have significantly shaped Air Seychelles’ journey. Notably, employee retention at Air Seychelles has remained strong since its creation in 1977. Last year, the airline recognized 62 long-serving staff members
and is looking forward to celebrate over 70 more in 2025. These figures reflect the positive work environment and commitment to employee satisfaction.

“I am filled with pride to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our long- erving employees, year after year, and in large numbers too. Their commitment over the years has been instrumental to the growth and success of the national airline, and I am grateful for their invaluable contributions” expressed Sandy Benoiton, Air Seychelles’ Chief Executive Officer. “I was also proud to have stood among them as a recipient myself this year and to celebrate two decades with our beloved national airline.”
Air Seychelles remains committed to recognizing and appreciating the talents and efforts of its employees, reinforcing its belief that its workforce is its greatest asset.

To note, 2024’s longest-serving staff are Marguerite Esparon, from the procurement department, and Spencer Panagary, an aircraft engineer who both joined the airline in 1989 and celebrates 35 years this year. A separate ceremony was held yesterday Friday 13th December 2024 at the Head Office in Pointe Larue for those who could not attend the party, ensuring that all honorees received the recognition they deserve. The CEO will personally meet with those currently on overseas duty upon their return for their gifts.
