(Posted 25th April 2026)
Air Seychelles is pleased to announce an enhanced schedule for the upcoming summer months. The airline will resume flying to the core network destinations of Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv.
Abu Dhabi flights will operate four days per week from 01 May 2026, flying on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The return flight from Abu Dhabi to Seychelles will operate on Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. As from 15 June, the route will return to daily flights.
For Tel Aviv, the once-weekly service will recommence on 06 May from Seychelles to Tel Aviv on Wednesdays, and return on Thursdays.
Flights to and from Paris will continue until 30 August 2026, flying every Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday on a leased A330 wide-body aircraft.
Following the earlier announcement of flights operating between Seychelles and Istanbul from 02 May to 27 June 2026, Air Seychelles wishes to advise that it has revised its schedule in light of recent market developments, including the earlier-than-expected resumption of services by Turkish Airlines and increasing global fuel costs. As a result, the final return flight from Istanbul will now operate on 13 June 2026, resulting in a six-week seasonal operation.
In addition, the Istanbul service will now be operated using Air Seychelles’ own Airbus A320NEO aircraft, replacing the previously planned usage of the Airbus A330 wide-body aircraft. This change reflects the airline’s commitment to operational efficiency and cost management during a time of escalating operating costs.
The revised flight operations to Istanbul will include:
* A non-stop, direct service from Seychelles to Istanbul
* A return service from Istanbul to Seychelles with a technical stop in Hurghada, Egypt
Despite these adjustments, Air Seychelles remains dedicated to delivering its signature Creole warmth and hospitality onboard. Passengers can continue to expect a high standard of service throughout the six-week operation.
Flights between Colombo, Mauritius and Johannesburg remain as scheduled. Flights to Rome terminate at the end of April as planned. Air Seychelles extends its sincere appreciation to its partners and customers for their continued support and understanding and looks forward to welcoming guests onboard its services.
