Air Seychelles to launch Chennai service

Starting November of this year, passengers traveling to Chennai, India, will have the possibility of doing so in one non-stop flight, with Air Seychelles. Responding to the increased number of arrivals from the Indian subcontinent and the demand from the local Indian community, Air Seychelles, has decided to launch this service, which will provide a direct air-link to India.
The national airline has recently secured landing rights with the Chennai authorities so as to be able to operate the weekly service. Air Seychelles has explained that it will operate this service on its Mahé-Singapore route. The flight will depart Mahé on Mondays and stopover in Chennai, before going on to Singapore. It will leave Singapore on Wednesdays and return to Mahé, again via Chennai. The national airline has chosen Chennai-based general sales agent, Global Aviation Services, to handle its sales in the Indian destination, which sees quite a lot of traffic to and from Seychelles.
Since many Seychellois travel to Chennai for medical and other purposes, including business transactions, and with many workers of Indian origin coming into Seychelles from and around the Chennai area, there is a sound market for servicing that route.
