Air Seychelles, the national carrier of the Republic of Seychelles, has selected Airbus' flight hour services – Fleet Technical Management (FTM) to optimise the performance and operational efficiency of its Airbus A320neo fleet. This strategic agreement is aimed at improving reliability, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring high safety and airworthiness standards.
Through the partnership, Airbus will assist the airline with continuing airworthiness management organisation (CAMO) tasks. This includes providing engineering support to the airline's maintenance control centre and implementing preventive measures to enhance aircraft reliability and minimise operational disruptions.
Dr Michael Agathine, Head of Technical Operations at Air Seychelles, stated: “We are excited to optimise our fleet performance with these enhanced services by partnering with Airbus. At Air Seychelles, we take safety and efficiency very seriously and this partnership underlines our commitment to maintaining the highest standards in our operations.”
Air Seychelles has operated Airbus A320 aircraft since 2012, a relationship that has played a key role in strengthening the country's aviation sector. The airline's current fleet includes two A320neo aircraft, which provide vital connectivity between Seychelles and destinations across Asia and Africa.
Regis Boniau, Head of Customer Services at Airbus India and South Asia, noted the long-standing relationship and benefits of the agreement, highlighting that the FTM services will help reduce unplanned maintenance and administrative tasks, while increasing aircraft availability and operational efficiency.
Headquartered in Victoria, Air Seychelles continues to focus on growth and excellence in regional aviation through strategic partnerships such as this.
