Air Seychelles ceases operation to Reunion

Air Seychelles has announced that it will no longer have Reunion on its regional network as of Tuesday June 1.

This, according to the airline, is because the codeshare agreement between Air Seychelles and Air Austral has ended.

Air Austral and Air Seychelles launched their codeshare agreement in April 1999 whereby the local airline was allocated a number of business and economy class seats on all Air Austral flights between Seychelles and Reunion and vice-versa.  These seats were sold by Air Seychelles.

An Air Seychelles spokesperson said: “The current arrangement is no longer mutually advantageous and it makes no business sense to continue.”

However, Air Austral will continue its weekly services to Mahe and people wishing to travel to Reunion can still do so on Air Austral.

Air Seychelles has confirmed that it is not planning to operate any scheduled services to Reunion in the near future.
