[edit] History

The airline was established on 15 September 1977, as Seychelles Airlines and adopted the present title in September 1978. It started international routes in 1983 to Frankfurt and London. It is wholly owned by the Seychelles government and employs 663 staff[2]. It operates a fleet of Boeing 767s on its international network and offers two classes of service, Pearl class (Business class) and Economy class. Based at the Seychelles International Airport (SEZ), it also operates a small base at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport (CDG) as agreed with Air France to serve many off-line European destinations (such as former routes like Manchester and Madrid). It is also the major ground handling agent for all aircraft operating at SEZ.
