Air Seychelles will take delivery of its first A320 aircraft during December 2014. The aircraft is wet-leased from Etihad Airways.
The delivery will facilitate improvements to Air Seychelles’s weekly schedules between Seychelles and Abu Dhabi; more capacity on services to Mauritius, and revised schedules for routes to and from Johannesburg, Mauritius, and Paris.
Air Seychelles CEO Manoj Papa said: “The A320 will allow Air Seychelles to extend the depth and breadth of its network, increase its regional brand presence, and crucially deliver more revenue which will be used to further develop Air Seychelles’ expanding services. Subject to regulatory approvals and beyond confirmed schedule updates and frequency enhancements, additional route announcements are planned in the coming months.”
