A first in a series of charter flights between Seychelles and Romania landed at the Pointe Larue International airport recently after an eight hour non-stop flight operated by Air Seychelles’ A320neo jetliner with 162 passengers landed at 9.50am.
The national carrier of Seychelles will operate a series of new charter flights from Romania’s capital city Bucharest. The first flight commenced on Friday, April 30 and would continue till May 17, 2021. This will greatly support the tourism industry in Seychelles and further trade links between the two countries.
Since last year, after the outbreak of the pandemic, pent up demand from the Eastern European countries has been there to visit tourist destinations. Air connectivity is crucial to help convert those demands into sales of holidays to Seychelles. The newly introduced air route that way has great potential, according to the government sources in Seychelles.
Seychelles reopened its borders on March 24 to all visitors except those directly from South Africa. However, the island nation has recently issued new travel advisories for certain countries in view of the worsening of COVID-19 incidences in countries like Brazil, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
