Air Seychelles has resumed regular flights between Tel Aviv and Mahé (Seychelles) after nearly five months of suspension. The return took place on Thursday, August 20. Previously, the carrier had postponed resuming flights, citing 'instability in the region.' At this stage, the company offers two daily flights on the Tel Aviv-Mahé route. Ticket prices start at $294 per passenger one way. The return of Air Seychelles occurred during one of the most challenging days for Ben-Gurion Airport: tens of thousands of passengers faced hours-long waits, landings were completely halted due to strike measures and baggage system malfunctions.
