OTTIMI RISULTATI PER AIR SEYCHELLES NEL 2013

Air Seychelles, la compagnia di bandiera della Repubblica delle Seychelles, ha annunciato un utile netto di 3 milioni di dollari per il 2013, superiore del 171 per cento rispetto all’utile di 1,1 milioni di dollari riportato nel 2012. I ricavi sono aumentati del 107 per cento a US 88,7 milioni di dollari (2012: US 42,8 milioni di dollari). Il numero di passeggeri della compagnia aerea sul suo network internazionale è aumentato del 100 per cento a 195.857 passeggeri (2012: 97.576), mentre il traffico sui servizi nazionali nel 2013 è aumentato del nove per cento a 156.617 passeggeri. I volumi di merci volate nel 2013 sono aumentati del 159 per cento a 5.529 tonnellate (2012: 2.128 tonnellate).

Joël Morgan, Seychelles Minister for Home Affairs and Transport e Air Seychelles Board Chairman, ha detto che i risultati 2013 sono stati una testimonianza del continuo successo della strategia di turnaround della compagnia aerea e del business plan. “Registrare il secondo anno consecutivo di redditività dopo le immense sfide del passato è un risultato di cui siamo tutti molto orgogliosi. Le nostre cifre 2013 sono una chiara indicazione che ora abbiamo il giusto modello di business. In soli due anni abbiamo ricostruito la nostra compagnia di bandiera, rafforzato la nostra partnership con Etihad Airways, fornendo buoni risultati per la compagnia aerea, abbiamo aiutato a far crescere il turismo delle Seychelles, uno dei nostri obiettivi principali. Oggi Air Seychelles è un grande simbolo della nostra nazione, ovunque volano i nostri aerei dai colori vivaci”.

L’imponente crescita 2013 del traffico passeggeri è stata aiutata dall’ acquisizione di un secondo aeromobile Airbus A330-200 in marzo. Nello stesso mese il vettore dell’isola ha lanciato tre voli settimanali per Hong Kong, e ha aumentato le frequenze verso Abu Dhabi, Johannesburg e Mauritius, raggiungendo così un totale di 16 servizi settimanali internazionali. Air Seychelles ha firmato quattro nuove partnership in codeshare nel 2013, stringendo accordi con airberlin, Czech Airlines, South African Airways e Cathay Pacific Airways. Tali accordi di codeshare aumentano il network virtuale Air Seychelles da 19 a 34 destinazioni.

Nel mese di ottobre, Air Seychelles ha annunciato un accordo di svariati milioni di dollari per l’ acquisto di tre nuovi aeromobili Viking Air DHC6 Twin Otter Serie 400, il che sottolinea l’impegno del vettore a lungo termine per le sue operazioni interne. Air Seychelles è stata premiata con una valutazione di quattro stelle da Skytrax.

Air Seychelles to take delivery of airbus A320, enhance flight schedules and increase frequencies

Main News Page
Tuesday 29 July 2014

Air Seychelles, the national airline of the Republic of Seychelles, will take delivery of its first Airbus A320 aircraft in December 2014, heralding significant enhancements to its international flight schedule at the same time.

The changes, effective 1 December, include increased weekly frequencies between Seychelles and Abu Dhabi, more capacity on flights to Mauritius, and revised schedules for routes to and from Johannesburg, Mauritius, and Paris.

Air Seychelles’ Chief Executive Officer, Manoj Papa, said: “The addition of a two-cabin Airbus A320 aircraft to our fleet, configured with 16 seats in Business Class and 120 in Economy Class, forms an essential component of our plan to establish Air Seychelles as the carrier of choice in the Indian Ocean region.

“The aircraft, a wet lease from partner Etihad Airways, will allow Air Seychelles to extend the depth and breadth of its network, increase its regional brand presence, and crucially deliver more revenue which will be used to further develop Air Seychelles’ expanding services.

“Subject to regulatory approvals and beyond confirmed schedule updates and frequency enhancements, additional route announcements are planned in the coming months, so that by the end of 2014 our brightly-coloured aircraft will be seen at many more destinations.

“I am particularly excited for the increased capacity on our Mauritius route, which will provide our guests with more flexible travel options.”

From December, Mauritius services will move to a morning departure from Seychelles, operating on Monday, Friday and Saturday, with the Saturday service flown by the island carrier’s Airbus A330-200 aircraft, providing 29 per cent more seat capacity.

Paris services operated by Air Seychelles’ Airbus A330-200 wide-body aircraft will sport new flight numbers, and depart Paris Charles de Gaulle airport on Wednesday and Saturday respectively, arriving in Seychelles Thursday and Sunday. Similarly, flights to Paris will depart Seychelles on Tuesday and Friday, arriving in Paris the following day.

Johannesburg’s three weekly wide-body services will operate on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday, offering a convenient new weekend option for guests.

Air Seychelles’ services between Abu Dhabi and Seychelles will increase from 14 to 18 flights per week, while partner Etihad Airways will continue to operate three return services per week on the same route, offering customers a choice of 24 weekly flights between Seychelles and Abu Dhabi.

Mr Papa said: “Our new fleet arrival, enhanced schedule and additional frequencies take Air Seychelles to the next level.

“Combined, these developments will cement Air Seychelles’ successful turnaround strategy, increase and secure inbound tourism flows to Seychelles, and economically, be hugely positive in terms of facilitating more trade across our network.

“Our international network continues to perform well and with these additional flights, we look forward to increasing connectivity to key markets important for Seychelles tourism – in Asia such as Beijing, Chennai, Delhi, Riyadh, and Tokyo, as well as in traditional and emerging European markets including Rome, Moscow and Paris.

Tickets for the new schedule are on sale from today and be purchased online via airseychelles.com, through a travel agent, by visiting Air Seychelles sales offices, or by calling the Air Seychelles’ Call Centre on +248 439 1000.
