Turkish Airlines and Air Seychelles recently signed a codeshare agreement for passengers travelling between Turkiye and Seychelles. Turkish Airlines will place its code on Mahe – Praslin flights operated by Air Seychelles, and Air Seychelles will place its code on Istanbul – Mahé, Istanbul – Tel Aviv, and Istanbul – Paris flights operated by Turkish Airlines.
Commenting on the agreement, Turkish Airlines CEO Bilal Ekşi said: “We are pleased to sign this codeshare agreement with Air Seychelles and aim to improve our partnership to maximise the travel opportunities offered to our passengers through our flight networks. We believe that this partnership will not only bring benefits to both carriers from a commercial perspective but also improve the cultural and tourism relations between two countries.”
Air Seychelles Acting CEO Sandy Benoiton said: “Air Seychelles is thrilled to offer the TK code on our domestic flights between Mahe and Praslin, allowing a single-ticket transaction for seamless travel to Seychelles’ second largest island. Additionally, the Air Seychelles HM-code will appear in key cities in Europe and the Middle East, allowing our passengers further options and travel date flexibility.”
The new agreement will come into effect on October 15, 2022, with plans for future expansion.
