Air Seychelles plans Dar es Salaam flights

ABU DHABI, September 9, 2014

Air Seychelles, the national airline of Seychelles, will launch twice-weekly flights to the Tanzanian capital, Dar es Salaam, on December 2, marking the next stage of growth in the airline’s regional strategy.

Dar es Salaam becomes the third destination in Air Seychelles’ Indian Ocean and African network, after Mauritius and Johannesburg. The route will be operated using a two-class Airbus A320 aircraft with 16 Business Class and 120 Economy Class seats.

Manoj Papa, Air Seychelles’ chief executive officer, said:  “We continue to build strength and depth in our global network, and the addition of Dar es Salaam, one of Africa’s fastest-growing business and tourism destinations, will enhance traffic flows to the Seychelles and beyond, fulfilling our mandate to be a key economic enabler for the Seychelles, supporting tourism and trade.

“These flights will serve as an attractive travel proposition for business and leisure travellers in Tanzania, offering a direct link to our archipelago and convenient onward connections to Abu Dhabi and beyond, including the Indian Subcontinent.”

Air Seychelles, established in 1978, maintains a strategic partnership with Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE and 40 per cent stakeholder.  - -TradeArabia News Service
