About Air Seychelles
Air Seychelles (IATA: HM) is the national flag carrier of the Republic of Seychelles, operating from its hub at Seychelles International Airport on the main island of Mahé (SEZ). The airline connects this Indian Ocean archipelago nation to the Middle East via its key Abu Dhabi route, to Europe via Paris, and to regional destinations across the Indian Ocean and southern Africa.
Air Seychelles is not part of a global airline alliance, but maintains partnership arrangements, including with Etihad Airways, to support onward connections beyond its network. As of 2026, the airline operates a leaner network than in previous years, having trimmed frequencies on some routes in response to sustained high jet fuel costs, with Tel Aviv service currently suspended. FareOptic compares Air Seychelles fares to help you find the best HM ticket price on the routes it currently operates.
