Air Seychelles and Air Austral announced a partnership by launching a special prorate agreement (SPA) allowing their respective customers to travel between Seychelles and Reunion on one ticket with immediate effect, the airlines confirmed earlier this week.
According to the airlines, this is a direct result of the decision by Air Austral to cancel their nonstop route between Seychelles and Reunion. Discussions were then initiated between Air Austral and Air Seychelles to offer continuity of service between the two islands.
The CEO of Air Seychelles, Sandy Benoiton said, “It is a pleasure for Air Seychelles to be able to intervene and offer an alternative bridge between Seychelles and Reunion at a time when it was most needed. We look forward to a long and fruitful cooperation.”
In response die Mr. Joseph Brema, Chairman of the Board of Air Austral, add, “Air Austral is pleased with this partnership with Air Seychelles. It was important for us to be able to offer an alternative travel to the Seychelles to our passengers. It’s a destination we know is particularly appreciated by the Reunion islanders and which we hope to be able to resume, as soon as the financial and operational situation will allow it, in agreement with our authorities.”
The agreement for travelling between Seychelles and Reunion with flights via Mauritius will benefit passengers allowing more flexible and cost-effective travel options. Travellers will also benefit from a single ticket for their entire journey, with their baggage checked through to their final destination.
