Sri Lankan Airlines, the national carrier of Sri Lanka, and Air Seychelles, the national airline of the Republic of Seychelles, have embarked on a codeshare partnership.
For passengers flying between Colombo and Mahe, the partnership ushers in seamless travel to multiple new destinations throughout Asia, Africa, and Australia. Flights under the codeshare agreement are available to book now.
Connecting people and places across continents, the collaboration empowers Sri Lankan Airlines to amplify its position and reach in Africa. It allows airline passengers to travel conveniently between Colombo and Mahe twice weekly. For Air Seychelles, over 20 destinations are included in the partnership, which provides for much-requested destinations such as Sydney and Melbourne in Australia and other popular stops in India, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.
This new codeshare agreement will allow Sri Lankan Airlines and Air Seychelles to place their codes on each other's flights. It will enable passengers to continue their journey conveniently using a single booking and have their luggage checked to the final destination. It also means passengers can book travel with both airlines through online travel agencies and local travel agents. Richard Nuttall, CEO of Sri Lankan Airlines, stated, "We are pleased to boost our codeshare network and presence in the African region through this new partnership.
We look forward to working with Air Seychelles to provide our customers with more African destination options in the coming years."
Charles Johnson, Air Seychelles' Chief Commercial Officer, shared, "Now that we have been flying to Colombo for over nine months, the twice-weekly flights have proven successful. The next step in solidifying our relationship is with this codeshare, allowing even more passengers the convenience of a single ticket to more points served by our partner in Asia and Australia."
