IndiGo has launched a new direct service between Mumbai and Seychelles in a bid to strengthen the airline’s commitment to connecting people, places and cultures.
A total of four round-trip flights per week will offer both convenient and affordable travel options to Seychelles for Indian visitors. The stunning archipelago in the Indian Ocean is celebrated for its natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. Its vibrant Creole culture, which was shaped by African, French and Indian influences, is evident in its festivals, music and cuisine. Seychelles is also home to the Aldabra Atoll, one of the world’s largest raised coral atolls, and boasts some of the rarest flora and fauna, including the Seychelles black parrot and the jellyfish tree.
Flight 6E 1855 will take off from Mumbai at 7:20 AM and land at Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) at 10:35 AM local time. The return flight of 6E 1856 will leave Seychelles at 6:15 PM local time and arrive in Mumbai at 12:35 AM. The services will run on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Vinay Malhotra, the head of global sales at IndiGo, said, “We are thrilled to launch direct flights between Mumbai and Seychelles, marking our 39th international and 130th overall destination. This new route offers our customers greater flexibility to discover Seychelles' stunning beaches and vibrant culture, while strengthening ties between our nations. As we expand our global footprint, we remain committed to delivering exceptional, affordable and hassle-free experiences that embody IndiGo's promise of on-time, courteous and seamless travel.”
IndiGo currently operates over 1,300 weekly departures from Mumbai and connects over 75 destinations. Previously, Indian travellers had to take connecting flights via Colombo, Dubai and Doha to reach the island nation.
