Air Seychelles Announces Successful Seasonal Operations to Reunion Island
Air Seychelles is pleased to announce the successful completion of its seasonal operations to Reunion Island, which ran from 30 December 2024 to 18 January 2025.
During this period, Air Seychelles carried nearly 500 passengers between the two islands across eight rotations, showcasing strong demand and connectivity between the Seychelles and Reunion.
The seasonal flights included two direct services between Seychelles and Reunion, as well as additional routes that made a stop in Mauritius, facilitating travel options for passengers. This initiative, in collaboration with Tourism Seychelles, marked a significant move to enhance accessibility and foster travel
between the two beautiful island destinations.
The operation is part of a strategic partnership initiated in June 2024, following the signing of a Special Prorate Agreement (SPA) with Air Austral. This agreement came in response to Air Austral’s suspension of operations to Seychelles, enabling Air Seychelles to step in and provide vital links to Reunion.
Charles Johnson, Air Seychelles’ Chief Commercial Officer shares “We are pleased to have operated our first round of commercial flights between Seychelles and Reunion during the festive peak season. We anticipate being able to offer more direct service during the school holiday periods when demand and traffic increases. We offer connectivity to Reunion on all of our three weekly flights via Mauritius during other times of the year. We have collaborated closely with Tourism Seychelles to promote travel between the two destinations, ensuring
that travelers can explore the diverse offerings of both the Seychelles and Reunion.”
Air Seychelles extends its gratitude to its passengers, Tourism Seychelles and travel partners for their continued support of this endeavor and looks forward to further strengthening these ties and providing more exciting travel opportunities in the future.
