Air Seychelles to begin new route to Abu Dhabi after Etihad investment

Posted 5 February 2012 · Add Comment

Air Seychelles has announced details of its new direct flights from Mahé to Abu Dhabi. This follows last week's announcement that Etihad Airways is to form a strategic partnership by taking a 40 per cent stake in the airline.

Complementing Etihad Airways’ existing four weekly services from Abu Dhabi to Mahé, March 12 will see Air Seychelles inaugurate two weekly return services on the route. Effectively, the new schedule will offer six direct services per week between Abu Dhabi and Mahé, increasing to seven per week from June 2012.

These Air Seychelles flights will operate on a Boeing 767-300ER series aircraft, in a two-class configuration, offering a total of 844 seats each week.
