Cathay Pacific Airways has announced a new codeshare agreement with Air Seychelles.
Tickets for the new codeshare services are expected to open for sale from November 21 for travel commencing December 9, pending government approval.
Under the new agreement, Cathay Pacific’s CX code will be placed on Air Seychelles’ three weekly return flights between Hong Kong and the Seychelles, and two flights per week from the Seychelles to Abu Dhabi.
At the same time, Air Seychelles will place its HM code on Cathay Pacific’s three weekly return flights apiece between Hong Kong and Seoul, and Hong Kong and Melbourne. The codeshare will also apply to three weekly flights from Hong Kong to Johannesburg.
"We are delighted to enter this deal with Cathay Pacific Airways which will go a long way to support the growing desire for flights between the Seychelles and China, as well as Asia generally,” said Air Seychelles CEO, Cramer Ball.
“This new partnership with Air Seychelles will boost both business and leisure travel between Hong Kong and the Seychelles,” said Cathay Pacific Chief Executive, John Slosar.
