Air Seychelles unveiled a new addition
to its distinctive, brightly-coloured livery when its second
Airbus A330-200 aircraft was delivered.
The Air Seychelles name
now adorns the underbelly, for brand visibility from the ground
while the aircraft is in flight.
The aircraft is named in honour of Vallée de
Mai, the Seychelles’ second UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site,
which is located on the island of Praslin and is home to the
famous Coco de Mer, the world’s largest seed and symbol of the Seychelles.
On the new aircraft, the UNESCO status
is included alongside the Vallée de Mai name, visible to
passengers upon boarding.
The aircraft is
scheduled to take its first test flight in February and will join
the fleet in March to launch Air Seychelles’ new international
schedule, which includes new services to Hong Kong and increased
frequencies to Abu Dhabi, Johannesburg and Mauritius.
“Air Seychelles’ livery turns heads, both in the sky and on the ground, embodying the beauty of the islands and the liveliness of
the culture. Our livery is based on the pristine ecosystem of the
Seychelles and our support for a greener Seychelles. With these
changes, our aircraft will be even more distinctive,” said Cramer
Ball, Air Seychelles Chief Executive Officer. “I’m particularly proud of the name given to the aircraft, as
this year, Vallée the Mai observes its 30th year as a UNESCO World
Heritage site. We are thrilled, as the national airline, to
promote these symbols of the Seychelles’ environmental commitment.”
