\u201cThe Seychelles is one of the most beautiful places on earth and we\u2019re delighted to be adding this collection of islands to our extensive route network,\u201d said British Airways\u2019 Director of Network and Alliances, Sean Doyle.<\/p>\n

\u201cCustomers can now get into \u2018holiday mode\u2019 even earlier with British Airways\u2019 direct flights from London taking 10 hours, instead of over 13 hours with a connection in the Middle East. As one of the leading luxury holiday destinations, the Seychelles offers customers a wide range of accommodation and activities in stunning natural surroundings,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Welcoming Tuesday’s announcement, Minister Loustau-Lalanne said this is the best news for the Seychelles\u2019 tourism industry both for its short term and long term viability.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were all devastated when British Airways pulled out in 2004. The return of British Airways to the Seychelles with two non-stop flights from London Heathrow in 2018 will provide a boost, especially to our 5 Star establishments. It will also help to further develop our USA market and elsewhere,\u201d Minister Loustau-Lalanne added.<\/p>\n

British Airways has launched over 30 new routes across the globe this year and flights to its new Indian Ocean route, Seychelles, as of March 2018 are already available for booking.<\/p>\n
