Air Seychelles has announced an expansion of its codeshare agreement with Etihad Airways for travel to Mumbai. Under this agreement, Air Seychelles will put its HM flight code on 21 weekly Etihad Airways flights between Mumbai and Abu Dhabi that connect onto its services between Abu Dhabi and Seychelles. These codeshare flights will complement Air Seychelles’ existing direct flights between Mumbai and Seychelles, which were launched in December 2014.
Manoj Papa, Chief Executive Officer, Air Seychelles said, “We are excited to enhance our connectivity to Mumbai through this expanded codeshare, which builds on our three-per-week direct service to this metropolitan city. Put together, these flights offer travellers more choice, flexibility and convenience, including daily connections to our archipelago and the option of combining a direct flight to Seychelles with a stopover in Abu Dhabi on the return journey, or vice-versa.
“Our travelling proposition, which already offers the fastest air links from India to Seychelles, Tanzania and Madagascar, has now become even more appealing with this development. We will continue to work closely with Etihad Airways in order to strengthen our network and look forward to driving more tourism traffic from the Indian Subcontinent to and through Seychelles.”
