“I salute the Air Seychelles team for their continued dedication, for flying the Seychelles colors high, for keeping families and friends connected during the most unprecedented time, without compromising on safety, service, performance excellence and most of all, for providing our guests with confidence to travel with Air Seychelles.”
Graham E. Cooke, Founder World Travel Awards, said: “Air Seychelles is setting the benchmark for aviation in the Indian Ocean. The airline’s commitment to improving customer service is unrivalled and I am delighted that both the travel trade and the public have acknowledged this excellence by voting it ‘Indian Ocean’s Leading Airline 2021’ and ‘Indian Ocean’s Leading Airline - Business Class 2021.”
The World Travel Awards established in 1993 to acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence across all key sectors of the travel, tourism and hospitality industries, is recognized globally as the ultimate hallmark of industry excellence.
