After closing its Saint-Denis–Mahé line as part of its economy plan, Air Austral signed a partnership agreement with Air Seychelles at the end of June to once again offer Reunion Islanders the opportunity to travel to the archipelago..
Travelers departing from Reunion can now buy a Reunion-Seychelles ticket and take a flight in two sections. They travel aboard Air Austral between Saint-Denis and Mauritius (45 minutes flight in Airbus A220), then board an Airbus A320 of the Seychellois company bound for Mahé (2 hours and 35 minutes of flight). Three weekly flights are offered. The waiting time for connections at Plaisance airport ranges from two to five hours. Prices displayed range from 970 euros in low season to 1100 euros in high season.
