Air Seychelles will begin daily flights between Seychelles and Abu Dhabi from October 16, 2025, further strengthening global connectivity. Since launching the route in May 2025, the airline has seen increasing demand from travelers. Therefore, this expansion highlights Air Seychelles’ determination to offer flexible travel choices for both leisure and business passengers.
Moreover, the decision to add daily flights reflects the growing interest of tourists visiting Seychelles and professionals traveling to the UAE. Consequently, the new schedule ensures smoother connections between Europe, the Middle East, and Russia through Abu Dhabi. Additionally, travelers can now plan their journeys with greater convenience, choosing flight options that perfectly match their schedules.
Furthermore, through its codeshare partnership with Etihad Airways, Air Seychelles connects passengers to more than 80 international destinations. As a result, this collaboration enhances access to Etihad’s vast global network, linking Seychelles with major cities across Europe, Asia, and North America. Hence, the increased frequency will likely attract over 57,000 tourists annually, fueling Seychelles’ growing tourism sector.
In addition, Abu Dhabi stands as a cultural and commercial hub for the UAE, offering travelers both modern attractions and heritage experiences. Landmarks such as the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and the Louvre Abu Dhabi continue to draw millions of visitors each year. Likewise, with daily flights, Seychellois residents can easily explore these sites, while Emirati travelers gain direct access to Seychelles’ pristine beaches and resorts.
Meanwhile, Air Seychelles will operate this route using its modern Airbus A320neo aircraft, which ensures efficiency and passenger comfort. Furthermore, the airline’s strategy aims to strengthen tourism and trade ties, reinforcing Seychelles’ role as a premier island destination. Ultimately, this daily service represents a milestone in Air Seychelles’ expansion plan, offering consistent connectivity and boosting business relations between Seychelles and the UAE.
