Etihad Airways and Air Seychelles bolster Seychelles network

Offering greater choice and flexibility, Etihad Airways and Air Seychelles have revealed changes to their Abu Dhabi – Seychelles route.

As of December 1, Etihad Airways is adopting an extra service per week and Air Seychelles a further two services per week, upping the combined number of weekly return flights to Seychelles from 10 to 13. 

This, in turn, will provide an additional 217 weekly connections to key destinations across the Gulf region, Middle East, Indian subcontinent, North Asia and Australia, including Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo and Seoul. Excellent connectivity will be maintained to and from Europe via Etihad Airways’ hub in Abu Dhabi. 

Chief strategy and planning officer, Etihad Airways, Kevin Knight commented on the news: “The change in flight schedule comes as part of the airline’s efforts to move towards a consistent double daily service between Abu Dhabi and Seychelles in cooperation with our equity partner Air Seychelles. 

“The new schedule will greatly benefit business and leisure travellers, ensuring they have more convenient travel options when flying between the UAE and Seychelles, and better onward flight connections on our global network,” he added.
