How to Take Advantage of The New Codeshare Partnership Between SriLankan Airlines and Air Seychelles!

Travellers looking to go on a trip between Mahé, Seychelles and Colombo can now explore enhanced travel options. The new codeshare partnership between SriLankan Airlines and Air Seychelles is ensuring access to over 20 destinations for travellers, including Sydney and Melbourne as well as popular cities in India, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.

As the two national carriers place their codeshares on each other’s flights, travellers can continue their journey seamlessly using a single booking. Additionally, their baggage will also be checked in all the way to their final destination. This means that you won’t have to worry about additional tickets or baggage processes.

With the new connection, travellers can explore significantly reduced travel time between the two cities. The options vary from up to 12 hours to approximately four hours now.

Just last year, Air Seychelles signed a codeshare agreement with Qatar Airways. Air Seychelles’ international network comprises five destinations in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, serving Johannesburg, Mauritius, Colombo, Mumbai, and Tel Aviv from its base in Mahé. Additionally, the airline also operates up to 30 daily roundtrips. This includes destinations such as Praslin, as well as various charters to other islands.

We are pleased to boost our codeshare network and presence in the African region through this new partnership. We look forward to working with Air Seychelles to provide our customers even more African destination options in the coming years.

Passengers on SriLankan Airlines can explore from Colombo to 36 international destinations in 20 countries. The new partnership aims to enhance visibility and attract more visitors to Seychelles by leveraging joint activities in targeted markets.

China Halts Boeing Aircraft Purchases Amid Rising U.S. Tensions

China Boeing Aircraft Purchases Halted Amid Rising U.S. Tensions

China has escalated the ongoing U.S.-China trade conflict by instructing its domestic airlines to stop accepting new deliveries of Boeing aircraft. This significant move follows the United States’ imposition of hefty tariffs on Chinese goods. In response, China slapped 125% tariffs on U.S. exports. The new restrictions, as reported by Bloomberg, include halting the purchase of Boeing aircraft and any associated U.S. aerospace parts or equipment.

This decision severely impacts Boeing, one of America’s largest exporters. Boeing has long viewed China as a crucial growth market, especially as the Chinese aviation industry expands. The halt affects the delivery of Boeing 737 MAX jets, with approximately ten aircraft ready for delivery. However, the government may still allow planes for which payment and delivery documents were completed before the tariffs took effect, on a case-by-case basis.

The move comes amid escalating tensions between the two economic superpowers. U.S. President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Chinese imports up to 145%, prompting China to retaliate with its own tariffs. This situation has forced companies like Boeing to grapple with rising costs and logistical uncertainties. Boeing’s stock has already taken a significant hit, with shares falling 7% since the beginning of the year.

The Chinese government is also considering how to assist domestic airlines that lease Boeing jets, as these carriers face rising costs due to the tariffs. While the decision poses a setback for Boeing, it could benefit Airbus, which has a more established presence in China. As the dispute evolves, the global aviation industry remains uncertain about the long-term effects of these trade restrictions.

In addition to halting aircraft deliveries, China has tightened its control over the supply of critical aerospace components, complicating the situation for both U.S. and Chinese manufacturers.
