Air Seychelles and India’s Jet Airways have enhanced their codeshare agreement to offer travellers enhanced connections on their respective networks. The agreement, which is subject to regulatory approvals, will include reciprocal frequent flyer programmes, cargo handling, and expansion of existing codeshare arrangements.
Air Seychelles will place its “HM” code on Jet Airways’ domestic services from Mumbai to Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Kochi, and Thiruvananthapuram, and also on Jet Airways’ international services between Abu Dhabi and Mumbai. In turn, Jet Airways will place its “9W” code on Air Seychelles’ four per week flights between Mumbai and Mahé, as well as the carrier’s flights to Abu Dhabi and Johannesburg.
Manoj Papa, Air Seychelles’ ceo, said: “Thanks to our growing commercial ties with Jet Airways, we will be able to build our presence in India and provide Air Seychelles access to millions of potential Indian guests wishing to travel to the Seychelles, or beyond to Africa.”
“Closer cooperation with cargo will further enable trade in the region and is in line with our business strategy,” he said.
