Air Seychelles says it has expanded its existing codeshare agreement with Etihad Airways to include easy one-stop connections from the tropical island of Seychelles to the Chinese capital of Beijing via Abu Dhabi.
The national carrier of the Republic of Seychelles says the new codeshare deal which will enable Air Seychelles place its “HM” code on Etihad Airways’ daily service between Abu Dhabi and Beijing, is the airline’s fourth codeshare connection with Etihad Airways in East Asia.
Roy Kinnear, Chief Executive Officer of Air Seychelles, observes: “Our new codeshare route with Etihad Airways provides guests with convenient travel options to Beijing and reinforces the strong political and economic relations between Seychelles and China. Nearly 6,000 travellers from China have visited our shores this year, and we are working hand-in-hand with our tourism partners to grow this number further.”
