Air Seychelles launches scenic flights
The Seychelles’ national airline is now offering scenic flights at low altitudes, allowing guests a bird’s-eye view of Seychelles’ main island Mahé and its surrounds.
The 30-minute flights depart from Seychelles International Airport, with two itineraries – North Mahé and South Mahé – available. Available daily between 1330 to 1500, the service is operated on a Twin Otter DHC-6 400 aircraft with 19 seats, of which 11 are window seats.
Flights have to be booked 24 hours in advance and will be sold on a charter basis instead of individual seats.
Air Seychelles is currently working with the travel trade and DMCs to distribute the new product.
Scafform Expo goes to Sin City
Scafform Global Expo will debut November 7-9, 2018, in Las Vegas, held alongside Hydropower & Dam Expo. The inaugural show will feature manufacturers and service providers of scaffolding and formwork equipment. It is anticipated that in addition to educational content, there will be demonstrations, and an outside display area.
The show in the US will be managed by ConvExx, an independent tradeshow management company based in Las Vegas, Nevada. New Horizons Global Expo acquired the US and international rights to produce the show from DEMOS, the producer and owner of the International Scaffolding and Formwork Exhibition (known as Scafform Expo), which is held biannually in Istanbul, Turkey.
