A second star Alliance member will start services to the Seychelles. After Ethiopian Airlines, now Turkish Airlines will be starting flights to Seychelles from October 2016.

The Indian Ocean News and ile-en-ile Magazine have published that on October 31, Turkish Airlines will be departing Istanbul in Turkey at 1:00 am and will land in Seychelles at 10:55 am. This increases the air connectivity for the Seychelles as never before.

Flights will operate three times a week, operated by an A330-200.
