Emirates Airline has announced a 100 per cent increase in frequency between Nairobi and Seychelles through Dubai by end of 2011. As from 28th March 2011, the service will increase to 12 weekly flights. Two further frequencies will be added to the winter schedule, making it a double daily service to the popular Indian Ocean archipelago “As compared to January 2010, we are increasing the capacity to Seychelles by 350 per cent,” said Essa Sulaiman Ahmad, Emirates’ regional manager for East Africa. “We believe the move will further open up the Seychelles’ market to her East African trading partners including Kenya and strengthen the relationship between these countries.”
Emirates Airline has been flying regularly between Nairobi and the Seychelles’ main international airport on Mahe through its hub in Dubai, offering an ideal extension option for passengers travelling to the Indian Ocean archipelago since January 2005.
