The flights will be operating on a schedule of twice weekly flights and be served by the airline’s A320neo aircraft which are set up in a two class configuration, 154 Economy and 12 Business class seats.

The flights are part of a bubble agreement between India and the Seychelles allowing the two countries to operate commercial passenger services.

This is now looking to become the new normal as the UAE confirmed today that they where in talk with Israel to open up a commercial passenger service corridor between the two countries allowing all vaccinated passengers to travel unrestricted for leisure and business travel.
