TAL Aviation, a leading airline and travel representation company, is proud to announce its appointment as the General Sales Agent (GSA) for Air Seychelles in Italy.

This partnership marks a significant step for Air Seychelles in strengthening its presence and expanding its reach within the Italian market.

Under this agreement, TAL Aviation will be responsible for all sales, marketing, and distribution activities for Air Seychelles in Italy, providing comprehensive support to travel agents and customers.

This appointment will enable Italian travelers to access the stunning beaches, vibrant culture, and unique landscapes of the Seychelles more easily, as well as connect to the airline's broader network.

Air Seychelles is continuing its network growth in 2026 by launching new destinations connecting key tourist, business, and adventure hubs.

A highlight of this ambitious plan is the introduction of a direct route between Rome (Fiumicino International Airport) and Seychelles International Airport, marking the airline's increased presence in the European region. The route will launch on March 28 until April 29, with a frequency of two flights per week, operated by an A320 aircraft configured in business and economy classes. If it will be successful, Air Seychelles will evaluate to continue longer.

The Rome service represents the second phase of a strategic European expansion, following the recently introduced non-stop connection to Paris Charles de Gaulle.

"We are thrilled to partner with Air Seychelles and represent them in Italy," said Valeria Tienghi, Country Manager for TAL Aviation Italy. "Air Seychelles offers a unique gateway to the captivating islands of the Seychelles and beyond. We are committed to leveraging our local knowledge and global experience to ensure their success in this vital market."
