Seychelles has signed a bilateral air services agreement with Kazakhstan that will allow airlines to operate direct flights between the countries. The agreement was signed on the sidelines of the 41st International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Assembly in Montreal by Seychelles’ minister for transport, Antony Derjacques, and Talgat Lastayev, the chairman of the Civil Aviation Committee of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development of Kazakhstan.
The new agreement expands Seychelles’ connection to a key regional source market that has been important to Seychelles’ growth in tourism since re-opening in March 2021. Kazakhstan is the 9th largest country in the world and the largest land-locked country. Rapid growth, fuelled by structural reforms and foreign direct investment has transformed the country into an upper-middle-income economy. Outbound traffic volumes to the Indian Ocean from Kazakhstan have surged five-fold in the past two years.
