Seychelles And China Connect with Charter Flight

Tourism Seychelles is thrilled to announce the first direct, non-stop charter flight between Seychelles and Chengdu, China, operated by Sichuan Airlines.

The flight, set to take approximately 8.5 hours, will commence in the second half of 2024, marking the beginning of a new chapter in air connectivity between the two destinations. Additional flights are currently under active discussion and consideration.

The new charter flight will offer travelers from China a convenient and exciting opportunity to experience the tropical paradise of Seychelles.

Chengdu, the vibrant capital of Sichuan province in China, is a major economic and transportation hub, making it an ideal departure point for Chinese visitors eager to explore Seychelles.

“We are delighted to welcome the charter flight between Seychelles and China,” stated Mrs. Sherin Francis, Principal Secretary of the Department of Tourism. “This initial charter flight represents a significant step in diversifying Seychelles’ tourism markets and opening our islands to the growing Chinese travel market. We are optimistic about the potential for expanding this route in the near future.”
