The government of the Republic of Seychelles is pleased to announce that following further progress in advancing economic and commercial cooperation between Seychelles and France, Air Seychelles will this year be flying thrice weekly nonstop to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport with the close collaboration of Air France. The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Transport, Joël Morgan, said today:
“This is an important step for Seychelles and is made possible by the strengthened cooperation with France, following the important meeting between President James Michel and President Francois Hollande in Paris last year, as well as his meeting with senior officials from Air France and the ongoing commitment and support of the shareholders.
“Making the opportunity to have sustainable nonstop flights to Paris CDG even greater is the fact Seychelles is registering double-digit growth in tourism arrivals from France, our number one market, since the beginning of this year.”
It is expected the three per week service to Paris CDG will be operated by Air Seychelles from July 2015.
The Minister said there was a lot of coordination to do and success would depend on widespread support from all stakeholders.
“I am now calling on all stakeholders here in Seychelles, and overseas, to actively support the planned thrice weekly service to Paris CDG to ensure its success. My promise to you is that the government will support more frequencies if you all as our partners make this new operation sustainable.
“While Air Seychelles will provide the air connection, at the end of the day it is the trade, tourism marketing, and promoters who need to make things happen in support of this initiative. This is the exciting challenge we all need to rise up to meet; let us work hard together as a team to make it a resounding success for Seychelles,” Minister Morgan said.
