Air Seychelles will enhance its non-stop regional service to Johannesburg with a fourth weekly frequency as part of a network adjustment for the summer 2016 season.

The new service will be introduced on 19 March and is scheduled to be operated on Saturdays offering a greater travel choice between Seychelles and South Africa’s biggest city.

The new service will reinforce the traffic flows between Seychelles and South Africa, one of the strongest source markets of tourism for the archipelago, with more than 13,000 arrivals last year, and a popular holiday and shopping destination for Seychellois.

The Saturday service will be operated on an Airbus A320 aircraft, which will increase weekly seat capacity by 19%, boosting the contribution of this air service to the national economy of Seychelles.
