The Indian Ocean archipelago of the Seychelles has announced the return of four international airlines to the island nation. Tourism is the top contributor to the economy of Seychelles, a group of 115 islands in the western Indian Ocean. 

On September 20, 2024, the national tourism board of Seychelles, Tourism Seychelles, revealed that German leisure carrier Condor had resumed flights from Frankfurt (FRA) to Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) on the island of Mahe on September 20 operating an Airbus A330-900neo on the nine-hour flight from Germany.  

In addition to these flights, Swiss leisure airline Edelweiss Air operated its first flight to the islands on September 21, 2024, with a return service operating to and from Zurich (ZRH) in Switzerland using an Airbus A340-300. With these two airlines making a welcome return to the Seychelles, the islands are boosting their connections to Europe, a key market that brings thousands of visitors to the Seychelles each year.
