Etihad connects Seychelles fliers to Japan

Air Seychelles fliers can now travel aboard Etihad flights to the Japanese cities of Nagoya and Narita thanks to a codeshare agreement, Air Transport News announced recently.

Air Seychelles will put its HM code on Etihad Airways flights between Abu Dhabi and the Japan locations.

"We’re thrilled to offer our guests connections to two major cities in Japan together with our partner Etihad Airways," Air Seychelles CEO Roy Kinnear said. "From its beautiful pagodas to its one-of-a-kind cuisine, Japan is a country of rich culture and heritage that makes for a great addition to our route network."

Travelers can benefit from the combined double-daily flights between Abu Dhabi and Seychelles beginning on Feb. 27. Tickets can be booked through travel agents as well as either airline's website or contact center.

Japanese guests on Etihad Airways will have access to numerous tailored services, such as Japanese-speaking cabin crew members and menus that include the traditional multicourse Japanese dinner kaiseki.
