Seychelles is preparing to welcome several international airlines and expanded flight schedules ahead of the 2025–2026 travel season – an important development for travelers, the tourism industry, and businesses alike.
Key highlights:
- Edelweiss will resume seasonal direct flights from Zurich starting 27 September 2025 until May 2026.
- Condor will restart flights from Germany on 19 September 2025, operating until 15 May 2026.
- Turkish Airlines will increase the frequency of its Istanbul–Mahé route to four flights per week from November 2025 to March 2026.
- Discover Airlines will launch its first route to Seychelles on 25 October 2025, with two weekly flights from Europe.
Why this matters:
Improved air connectivity is not just about more flights – it creates opportunities for more tourists, stronger trade relations, and greater global visibility. For Seychelles, this means increased popularity, growing visitor numbers, and new economic prospects. For businesses, it enables more flexible logistics, easier partnerships, and access to wider markets.
Salim C. Mathieu, Founder of Seychelles in Sweden, highlights that these developments make Seychelles even more accessible and attractive to Swedish travelers, whether for holidays, investment, or cultural exchange. For Swedes, it opens up a convenient gateway to experience the islands’ pristine beaches, nature, and unique culture.
