Air Seychelles has launched a twice-weekly service to Antananarivo, Madagascar.
The inaugural flight, HM 755, touched down at Ivato International Airport in early December, becoming the carrier’s fourth destination in its Indian Ocean and Africa network, after Dar es Salaam, Johannesburg and Mauritius.
Operated with an Airbus A320 with 16 business-class and 120 economy-class seats, the new service offers over 2 100 seats a month.
Manoj Papa, Air Seychelles’ CEO, said: “With an annual cargo capacity of over 370 tonnes on our Airbus A320, this service will facilitate not only increased flows of tourism into Seychelles, but also larger volumes of trade. This reinforces our commitment to grow the national economy of the Seychelles.”
Through the airline’s global network, the new flights also offer seamless connections to destinations in Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East and beyond.
