✈️ Current Airline Situation — Checked 18 July 2026

🇬🇧 Seychelles currently has active access through the Middle East, Europe, Africa, India and Russia. The network is broader than during the mid-June disruption period.

🇫🇷 Les Seychelles disposent actuellement d’accès actifs via le Moyen-Orient, l’Europe, l’Afrique, l’Inde et la Russie. Le réseau est plus large que pendant la période de perturbation de mi-juin.
