Air Seychelles and Air France sign codeshare renewal

Air Seychelles stated (03-Jun-2011) Seychelles' tourism development is to largely benefit from the signing of a new joint air services agreement between Air France and Air Seychelles, effective 01-Jun-2011. The agreement was signed following a review by Air Seychelles on its operations to Europe and after two rounds of talks in Paris and Seychelles during the past two months. The long-standing partnership between the airlines started in 1997. According to the codeshare signed in 2009, Air Seychelles operates the Seychelles-Paris route and the seats are shared among both airlines. Each company remains responsible for the commercialisation of its capacity. The terms and conditions of the new agreement aim at improving the route economics for Air Seychelles, thanks to a new balance between seat price, capacity share and fuel costs adjustment mechanism.
