Air Seychelles appoints M&C Aviation as its GSA in India

Air Seychelles recently appointed M&C Aviation, as its general sales agent for India. M&C Aviation was earlier Air Seychelles’s cargo sales agent for India, and is also its GSA in Madagascar and Mauritius.

Air Seychelles operates five weekly services from Mumbai to its Seychelles hub, with Airbus 320s. Its network also covers the Indian Oceania region, comprising Mauritius and Madagascar, as well as South Africa and parts of Europe. Its mainstay traffic is pharmaceuticals, textiles and courier shipments.
