A Brief History of Seychelles International Airport

Seychelles International Airport was inaugurated by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1972, and commercial and cargo traffic grew steadily throughout its first decade. The 1980s brought expansion of the terminal building to accommodate 800 passengers alongside additional parking for larger aircraft, despite a period of civil unrest at the airport during that era. The most significant infrastructure work took place in the early 2000s, resulting in the two-terminal layout that serves the airport today. The facility now handles over one million passengers per year and remains the sole international gateway for the archipelago.

The Seychelles: What to Expect on Arrival

The Seychelles Archipelago comprises 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, with a cultural character shaped by French, British, African, Chinese and Indian influences. Tourism, fishing and agriculture form the backbone of the economy, and the islands attract visitors principally for their beaches, marine environment and unhurried pace.

• White-sand beaches across multiple islands, most notably Mahé, Praslin and La Digue
• Crystal-clear waters suited to water sports, recreational fishing and boat excursions
• A range of high-end restaurants, luxury resorts and boutique properties
• Sightseeing attractions including the Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve (Praslin) and Aldabra Atoll
