Air Seychelles announces flights to Abu Dhabi

Nigeria Sun (IANS) Friday 3rd February, 2012

Air Seychelles Friday announced direct flights from Seychelles' largest island of Mahe to Abu Dhabi.

This follows last week's announcement that UAE's Etihad Airways will form a strategic partnership by taking a 40 percent stake in Air Seychelles.

The two weekly return flights will be inaugurated March 12. These flights will operate on a Boeing 767-300ER series aircraft, in a two-class configuration, offering 844 seats each week. The new flights are on sale from Friday.

Cramer Ball, CEO of Air Seychelles, said: "The Seychelles have already proven to be a hugely popular holiday destination amongst Etihad Airways guests. With these additional two Air Seychelles weekly flights, we look forward to successfully serving the route.
