BA is flying non-stop to Seychelles year round

I flew to the Seychelles on BA’S inaugural Dreamliner direct flight. Vice president of sales Richard Tams said on arrival that its predecessor, BOAC, started services in 1971 with a fuel stop in Nairobi. BA withdrew the route in 2004.

But the Boeing 787 allows a non-stop service in just over 10 hours. Mr Tams said BA will make the planned seasonal service a year-round one.
