The low-cost carrier was expected to begin operations on July 1 with thrice-weekly flights.
“The commencement of Flynas’ flights linking the Seychelles islands to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been deferred to a later date,” said Seychelles Tourism Office Middle East, in a Linkedin post on Sunday.
The tourism body, citing information communicated by Flynas representatives to Seychelles’ aviation regulator, said the deferment of the direct flight from Jeddah to Mahé relates to the capacity of the brand new A320 Neo aircraft assigned to the destination, affecting its payload and range.
Flynas has confirmed that a project is currently underway for the aircraft to obtain ETOPS clearance following which the operation will be launched. It is a certification that permits twin engine aircraft to fly routes which may, at the time, be 60 minutes flying time from the nearest airport that is suitable for an emergency landing.
