Air Seychelles ink codeshare agreement with Hong Kong Airlines

Air Seychelles and Hong Kong Airlines have signed a codeshare agreement to provide travellers with enhanced connections in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

Under the agreement, Air Seychelles will place its ‘HM’ code on Hong Kong Airlines’ flights between Hong Kong and Bangkok. In return, Hong Kong Airlines will place its ‘HX’ code on Air Seychelles’ flights between the Seychelles and Hong Kong, as well as between Hong Kong and Abu Dhabi.

The agreement was inked by Manoj Papa, chief executive officer of Air Seychelles, and Li Dianchun, commercial director of Hong Kong Airlines.

Manoj Papa said: “The Seychelles attracts a large number of travellers from across Asia, and through our codeshare agreement with Hong Kong Airlines, we are confident these volumes will continue to flourish.”

Li Dianchun further added: “This codeshare agreement is part of a comprehensive strategy to open up new markets and offer more choices to Hong Kong Airlines’ passengers. The agreement enables passengers to book any Hong Kong Airlines flight originating from China, Japan and Southeast Asia to Abu Dhabi and the Seychelles connecting through the Hong Kong hub.”

Tickets under the codeshare agreement can be purchased from 12 September 2014 for travel commencing on the same day.
