First charter flight from Romania lands in Seychelles

Remco Althuis, Chief Executive Officer of Air Seychelles, said: “Due to the continuing effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, passenger’s desire for more direct flights has become even more vital. We are thrilled to now be linking Bucharest with Seychelles for the first time, again fulfilling on our mandate to increase tourism to Seychelles. Based on the success we have seen so far with this market, we anticipate more of these charters later in the year. As Air Seychelles is also constantly exploring new potential source markets, we look forward to announcing additional destinations in the near future.”

 

Present at the Seychelles International Airport for the landing of the first charter flight from Romania, Sherin Francis STB’ Chief Executive thanked the national airline for helping in making the destination more accessible to visitors.

 

Mrs. Francis has said: “We have noticed since last year pent up demand from the Eastern European countries. Air connectivity is crucial to help us convert those demands into sales of holidays to Seychelles. Thanks to Air Seychelles, we have managed to tap into this opportunity and we hope to be able to grow the business further from other countries of the same region together with our national airline,”
