The chief executive of the Seychelles Civil Aviation Authority (SCAA), Gary Albert, told a press conference on Friday that “as of next week all flights coming to and out of the island nation will be solely for the purpose of passenger repatriation.”

Albert said that other than attending to flights carrying passengers, the international airport at Pointe Larue offers other essential services which include medical evacuations, cargo operations, emergency landings, and humanitarian and technical landings.

He said that the airport will also attend to domestic flights which have reduced from 40 to two per day.
