President Michel welcomes Air Seychelles’ development of new business opportunities
|
January 27, 2010 -- President Michel has welcomed the announcement by Air Seychelles that it has begun operations to the Falkland Islands as part of a contract with the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence.
In a statement, President Michel noted that “The fact that Air Seychelles has won the contract for these services is a mark of the high standing of our national airline and the professionalism and dedication of its staff”.
He also noted that in the increasingly competitive international airline market, it is encouraging that Air Seychelles is also seeking to adopt innovative business practices beyond its core business: “Innovation is key to Seychelles being ready for the future, and we congratulate Air Seychelles for taking the lead in this way”.
Air Seychelles successfully bid for the contract after the UK Ministry of Defence had to seek a replacement for the previous operator who had to stop flying due to bankruptcy. Several other prestigious airlines bid for the contract, but Air Seychelles was successful due to its experience in flying 767s and its experience with island locations. The length of the contract will be finalised in due course, but it is expected that the agreement will significantly improve revenue flows and therefore the airlines perspectives for 2010.
