"Air Seychelles has grown extensively and robustly in 2016 and is now ready to embark on the next exciting chapter of its evolution, further enhancing air access to our archipelago and bringing more holidaymakers and business people to our shores," said Roy Kinnear, CEO of Air Seychelles.
To support the expansion the carrier is adding a second Airbus A330 aircraft.
"The addition of a second wide-body A330 to our fleet is set to open up significant growth opportunities, enabling Air Seychelles to extend its network footprint in Europe and the Indian Ocean region. The new Dusseldorf service is an exciting and much-awaited development that will provide travellers in Germany and the wider catchment area of Belgium, Holland, and Scandinavia with attractive new travel options to Seychelles," Kinnear said.
