After undergoing a complete refurbishment in Europe, Air Seychelles took delivery of a second Shorts 360 aircraft in August 2006. The aircraft was named “The Isle of La Digue”. The new aircraft with 36 seats will increase capacity on domestic network by 37% and enhance comfort and luggage space.

on a 20-seat Twin
Otter turboprop,
only lasts fifteen
minutes. There
are an average
of 20 return flights
every day. During
peak season, the
number of return
flights can increase
to as many as
thirty a day!
