May 17, 2019: Air Seychelles has launched its sixth weekly frequency between Seychelles Mumbai.

The flight operated on May 12 by the airline’s Airbus A320 aircraft S7-AMI was commanded by Captain Francois Jackson and First Officer Rajesh Nair.

Charles Johnson, chief commercial officer of Air Seychelles said: "Since the launch of the flights in 2014, there has been a significant increase in the traffic volumes between the financial capital of Mumbai and the Seychelles, hence to ensure that we keep up with the trend we have also revised the time our flights to Mauritius and Mumbai over the Seychelles to allow seamless connectivity across our network. The support of the government of India and our partners including the travel trade has been significantly important in enabling us to operate this additional frequency and we remain grateful for their continuous support".

Last year, Air Seychelles and the flag carrier of India, Air India signed a codeshare agreement to offer enhanced connection to travellers on their respective networks.
