Primary source Internal intake · 1 reviewed intake signal · Desk window 11:38

TL;DR

Air Seychelles will resume weekly nonstop service between Tel Aviv and Mahé, Seychelles, starting August 20, according to Israeli media. The move adds another carrier to Israel's recovering international air travel market.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Air Seychelles is the latest carrier to announce a return to Israel, planning to operate weekly nonstop flights between Tel Aviv and Mahé, the largest island of the Seychelles archipelago, starting August 20. The announcement, reported by N12, comes amid a gradual recovery in international air traffic to and from Israel, with several carriers—including Wizz Air, Air Europa, and the Lufthansa Group—having resumed or expanded services in recent weeks. The restoration of the Seychelles route adds a leisure-travel option to a destination that has historically been popular among Israeli travelers. In contrast, TAP Air Portugal has extended its suspension through mid-August, underscoring that the recovery remains uneven across airlines.
