"As a preventive measure against the spread of COVID-19, passengers travelling to Madagascar will need to demonstrate proof of negative RT-PCR test conducted 48 hours prior to their flight, whilst for Mauritius, the RT-PCR test must be conducted 92 hours in advance," said Air Seychelles.

"For those travelling into the Seychelles, please ensure to visit seychelles.govtas.com to submit the mandatory Health Travel Authorisation prior to entering the country.

Since May this year, Air Seychelles has been operating repatriation flights for both Seychellois nationals abroad and foreigners stranded because of a restriction imposed by countries to curb the spread of the COVID-19.

The Seychelles' national carrier will resume limited passenger flights to Johannesburg, Mauritius and Tel Aviv as from November 1. 

Meanwhile, there are currently three airlines operating commercial passenger flights to Seychelles since the island nation re-opened its airport August 1 and these are Emirates, Ethiopian Airlines and Edelweiss.
