Air Seychelles and Air Austral have entered into a new Special Prorate Agreement (SPA), allowing passengers to travel between Seychelles and Reunion on a single ticket. This partnership follows Air Austral’s decision to cancel their nonstop route between the two islands and aims to provide a seamless travel experience for passengers.
Under this agreement, travel between Seychelles and Reunion will be routed through Mauritius, offering flexible and cost-effective options. Customers will benefit from having a single ticket for the entire journey and their baggage checked through to the final destination, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

- Departure from Seychelles at 09:30 hrs, arriving in Mauritius at 12:05 hrs.

Seychelles is a destination greatly appreciated by Reunion islanders, and we hope to resume direct flights as soon as the financial and operational situation permits.”
