SriLankan Airlines and Air Seychelles enter codeshare partnership

SriLankan Airlines and Air Seychelles have entered a codeshare partnership. Under the agreement, SriLankan Airlines will be able to travel twice a week between Colombo, Sri Lanka and Mahe, the Seychelles archipelago's largest island. For Air Seychelles, over 20 destinations are included in the partnership, including Melbourne and Sydney in Australia, as well as India, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. ""We are pleased to boost our codeshare network and presence in the African region through this new partnership,"" said SriLankan Airlines CEO Richard Nuttall. ""We look forward to working with Air Seychelles to provide our customers more African destination options in the coming years."" ""Now that we have been flying to Colombo for over 9 months, the twice-weekly flights have proven successful,"" said Air Seychelles chief commercial officer Charles Johnson. ""The next step to solidifying our relationship is with this codeshare, allowing even more passengers the convenience of a single ticket to more points served by our partner in Asia and Australia."" Flights under the codeshare agreement will begin operating in May 2024.
