 Qatar Airways has signed a codeshare agreement
with Air Seychelles, enabling passengers on both networks to enjoy seamless travel to one of the world’s most exotic and unique destinations.

Air Seychelles operates international flights to
Johannesburg, Mumbai, Mauritius and Tel Aviv using Airbus A320neo
aircraft.

For its domestic network, the airline operates a fleet of five
DHC-6 Twin Otter-400 turboprops between Mahé and Praslin as well
as charter flights.

“This new partnership will provide passengers with new connection opportunities and access to unique destinations from both
networks,” said Captain Sandy Benoiton, Air Seychelles, Acting
Chief Executive Officer.

Qatar Airways serves over 160 destinations worldwide and
connects travellers from Africa, America, Asia and Europe easily
to and from Seychelles through its hub in Doha, Hamad
International Airport (HIA).

Currently, Qatar Airways operates a
daily flight between HIA and Seychelles International Airport
(SEZ), located on the Island of Mahé, near the capital city of
Victoria, with a morning arrival and evening departure from Mahé
Island.

Because of this new codeshare agreement, Qatar Airways
will place its code on Air Seychelles’ operated flights between Mahé and Praslin and enable passengers to continue their journey
conveniently using a single booking.

Praslin is home to the
pristine Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve and UNESCO World Heritage
Site along with palm-fringed beaches, like Anse Georgette and Anse
Lazio, both bordered by large granite boulders.

Akbar Al Baker,
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, said, “Our strategy of facilitating connectivity to African
markets through partnerships is in line with this enhanced
cooperation with Air Seychelles. Our two airlines are pleased to
work together to benefit passengers with more travel choices and
to support the tourism industry in Seychelles.”
