Air Seychelles apologises for the inconvenience this may cause and thanks you for your support.
It’s been a hot minute, but we are back with our Long Service Profiles in honour of our team members celebrating big milestones this year.
This week, we are delighted to introduce our Crew Qualification Manager, Elna Bristol who has been with Air Seychelles for 25 years.
Congratulations, Elna! We appreciate you!
Q: Have you always fancied a career in the aviation industry?
A: Not at all! I am actually a qualified cook. Before joining Air Seychelles, I worked for Mrs Alibhaye in her tuck shop at the International School for three years - an experience I still think back on fondly. I was quite young then and got drawn to a vacancy in the paper to join the national airline as a check in agent and the rest is history! Now that I have spent 25 years in the aviation industry, I cannot imagine doing anything else. It really grows on you and becomes a part of you. It is fast paced for sure, and some days can be very hectic but I manage to maintain a good work-life balance, with the help of a supportive family.
Q: How has working for Air Seychelles shaped you?
A: Firstly, my time with the airline has truly brought me out of my shell. Growing up, I was always a reserved and shy person who mostly kept to myself. I vividly remember the anxiety I felt when I was asked to make a public announcement when I just joined as a check in agent. Fast forward to today, and I can do it without a second thought. Spending twenty-five years in this environment is significant, and throughout my journey, especially by working in various departments, I’ve discovered numerous skills and attributes that I didn’t know I possessed. I now feel confident in myself and my duties, which is an empowering feeling. I have also had the privilege of meeting and working with incredible people who have shaped who I am today, such as Ireney Ernest and our now CEO, Sandy Benoiton, who believed in me and pushed me to my full potential. One of the many good things about Air Seychelles is its commitment to investing in its people. We receive training and up-skilling opportunities that are immensely valuable and crucial for our growth.
Q: Tell us a bit about yourself?
A: I consider myself an easy going, cool and positive person and this serves me well in my job and in life in general. I firmly believe that things happen as they are meant to and the best way to overcome challenges is to face them and move on. I was born and raised in Takamaka, where I still reside, and I truly appreciate the quiet it offers at the end of a long, hectic work day. I strive to be a good team member - I am reliable, hardworking and work well with all kinds of people. This mindset helps foster a collaborative and enjoyable work environment.
Q: Did you ever think you would last 25 years?
A: Honestly, no. I gave it a shot when I started and was open to seeing how it would go. It obviously went well as I found myself staying on year after year, and here I am, a quarter of a century later. It has been a fulfilling journey so far and I am incredibly proud of all I have achieved during my tenure. I am also super proud of our little airline for everything it has gone through and overcome; it will always hold a special place in my heart.. I hope to enjoy many more years at Air Seychelles.

Air Seychelles offers insight into the aviation industry for Careers Week
Air Seychelles played a significant role in this year’s Careers Week, an annual initiative organised by the Ministry of Education to provide students and jobseekers with insights into various careers, training and employment opportunities. This year’s event, themed “Making the right career choice for a successful future”, was launched on Monday 08 July 2024.
As the national airline, Air Seychelles welcomed school children to explore career opportunities in the aviation industry, conducted on-site visits on Mahe and Praslin, and participated in school presentations.
On Tuesday 09th July, staff members Stephanie Nicholas and Sheila Banane delivered a presentation at Praslin Secondary School about careers in Air Seychelles, focusing on roles such as Guest Services Agents and Ramp functions. Students then visited Praslin Airport, where they interacted with flight crew and ground staff.
On Wednesday 10th July, Christiana Labrosse, Guest Contact Centre Manager, presented to P5 students at the La Rosiere Primary School, emphasizing front office roles.
The week concluded with a visit from ten students from the School for the Exceptional Child to the Head Office on Mahe. They toured the technical operations hangar, observed equipment demonstrations by engineering and IT staff, and learned about different company roles. The visit ended with a performance by the Air Seychelles Choir, which was particularly enjoyed by the attendees.
Speaking of the visit, Miss Vernette Celestine from the School for the Exceptional Child expressed, “It is very heartwarming to have been invited, especially since we rarely get included in such activities regarding careers and employment. It has been an eye opening experience for all of us who attended. The choir performing for us at the end was a very touching gesture! Thank you Air Seychelles.”
Sandy Benoiton, CEO of Air Seychelles, highlighted the airline’s commitment “At Air Seychelles, where our workforce consists mainly of Seychellois, we are enthusiastic to participate in any initiative that will encourage our future candidates to join our line of work. It has been a pleasure to host these visits and we take the opportunity to thank the schools who have both invited us to their grounds for talks as well as come to us for a tour.”
The Careers Week concludes on Friday 12th July 2024.
Air Seychelles and Air Austral to collaborate on reconnecting Seychelles and Reunion
Air Seychelles and Air Austral have formed a new partnership in the form of an SPA agreement, allowing their respective customers to travel between Seychelles and Reunion on one ticket, effective immediately.
This comes after the decision by Air Austral to cancel their nonstop route between Seychelles and Reunion. Discussions were initiated with Air Seychelles in order to offer continuity of service between the two islands.
Air Seychelles and Air Austral are today able to announce the establishment of an interline agreement, called ‘SPA’ (Special Prorate Agreement), allowing travel between Seychelles and Reunion via Mauritius and benefiting passengers with more flexible and cost-effective travel options. Customers will benefit from a single ticket for their entire journey, with their baggage also checked in to their final destination making it a seamless, worry-free journey.
Example of a one-way trip from Seychelles to Reunion via Mauritius
- Departure from Seychelles at 0930 hrs arriving into Mauritius at 1205 hrs
- Departure from Mauritius at 1445 hrs arriving into Reunion at 1530 hrs Example of a one-way trip from Reunion to Seychelles via Mauritius
- Departure from Reunion at 1315 hrs arriving into Mauritius at 1400 hrs
- Departure from Mauritius at 1705 hrs arriving into Seychelles at 1940 hrs.
“Air Austral is pleased with this partnership with Air Seychelles. It was important for us to be able to offer an alternative travel to the Seychelles to our passengers. It’s a destination we know is particularly appreciated by the Reunion islanders and which we hope to be able to resume, as soon as the financial and operational situation will allow it, in agreement with our authorities.” Said Joseph Brema, Chairman of the Management Board of Air Austral.
“It is a pleasure for Air Seychelles to be able to intervene and offer an alternative bridge between Seychelles and Reunion at a time when it was most needed. We look forward to a long and fruitful cooperation,’ shares Sandy Benoiton, Chief Executive of Air Seychelles.
Air Seychelles currently operates between Seychelles and Mauritius three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays offering passengers a range of dates to plan out their holidays and connections.

Air Seychelles was invited to participate at the Independent School's Tourism Fair this morning at their Ile du Port Campus, and a very enthusiastic team made sure the national airline was well represented.
It was a pleasure to showcase our lesser known jobs which although operate more in the background rather than customer facing, are instrumental to the success of the company.
The students, who were full of questions, were explained the duties of our engineers, ramp agents, catering department and the functionalities of the props on display.
Thank you Independent School Seychelles for this very productive morning and for allowing us a chance to engage with the future generation. We hope to welcome them to the aviation industry in a few years.
Friday morning in the Seychelles! What adventures await you today?
Whatever you do, it will be stunning, just like this morning’s sunrise
