Etihad Airways and Air Seychelles have announced a groundbreaking alliance to expand travel connections linking Abu Dhabi and the Seychelles. Commencing on the twenty-third of May, two thousand twenty-five, the collaboration will introduce six weekly flights connecting Abu Dhabi to Mahe, Seychelles, with convenient onward services to locations such as Praslin and Mauritius via Air Seychelles. This initiative seeks to boost regional travel links while providing passengers with an easier booking experience and streamlined transfers across various locations.

Travelers can anticipate a smooth experience with uniform services offered by both carriers. The partnership provides standardized luggage policies, onboard entertainment options, and free dining services, ensuring a hassle-free experience. Etihad’s frequent flyer members will also benefit by earning loyalty miles on these flights. This partnership simplifies connections for long-haul travelers, providing greater comfort and minimizing hassle during connections to tropical hotspots like Seychelles and Mauritius.

 

This agreement opens new possibilities for travelers eager to discover the Indian Ocean's enchanting islands. Seychelles, renowned for its pristine shores, azure waters, and vibrant underwater ecosystems, offers an idyllic escape for nature enthusiasts and luxury seekers alike. Mauritius, celebrated for its green scenery, diverse cultural traditions, and lively marketplaces, adds a unique blend of relaxation and adventure, making it a compelling destination for a variety of travelers.

Moreover, the increased connectivity provides greater travel flexibility for global passengers. Abu Dhabi's position as a key global stopover enables passengers to effortlessly connect to prominent locations across Europe, Asia, and Africa, making long-haul connections more efficient. This central location allows for shorter layovers and smoother transfers, reducing overall travel time. The partnership further improves convenience for those planning holidays to tropical destinations, ensuring stress-free and time-saving journeys.

For travelers, the partnership represents a key milestone in the recovery of global tourism following the pandemic. As demand for island getaways grows, reliable and accessible flights play a crucial role in boosting confidence among travelers. This alliance not only boosts tourism in Seychelles and Mauritius but also signals renewed optimism, inspiring more visitors to embark on long-anticipated island adventures with enhanced convenience and seamless travel arrangements.
