Air Seychelles orders 2 A320neos

Air Seychelles has ordered 2 CFM International LEAP-1A-powered Airbus A320neos, which will be used as part of a wider fleet renewal. Announcing the order Tuesday, Air Seychelles said the aircraft will be delivered in the second half of 2019 and used to increase capacity to Johannesburg and Mumbai. “We need to ensure that the business is aligned with the demands of the markets in which we operate today. Hence, as part of the strategic plan, this new order will not only enable the airline to gradually replace its existing jet fleet with modern new aircraft, but it will also enable Air Seychelles to further strengthen its business by operating in a more efficient manner,” Air Seychelles CE Remco Althuis said. The aircraft will be equipped with a new inflight product, which Air Seychelles said will reflect the latest trends in air travel industry. <br/>
