“We have introduced Air Seychelles’ services for the first time to the other major markets of India, including Bangalore, Madras and Delhi,” said Harish Shah [right in photo], CEO of India at M&C Aviation. “We have also added products to their portfolio, such as small parcels express, as well as increasing their coverage using interline partners in Europe and the USA, and connections to East Africa.”
