Seychelles International Airport, also known as Aéroport de la Pointe Larue in French, stands as the primary international gateway to the enchanting Seychelles, nestled on Mahé island near the capital city of Victoria. With a vital role in connecting the Seychelles to the world, this airport is not only a bustling travel hub but also the home base and headquarters of Air Seychelles, the nation’s flag carrier. Seychelles International Airport plays a pivotal role in facilitating both regional and long-haul flights, making it a key entry point for tourists eager to explore this tropical paradise.
Situated just 11 kilometers (6.8 miles) southeast of Victoria, the airport offers easy accessibility via the Victoria-Providence Highway, serving as a vital link between the capital and the rest of the world. The airport’s facilities are divided into domestic and international terminals, ensuring smooth connections for travelers exploring the Seychelles’ inner islands. Additionally, a dedicated cargo terminal efficiently handles freight from both domestic and international flights, managed by Air Seychelles. Notably, the airport is strategically located within administrative districts, contributing to its importance as a transportation hub for both locals and tourists.
Seychelles International Airport boasts a rich history, with its inauguration taking place on March 20, 1972, by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. It quickly became a hub for regional and international flights, serving numerous airlines as passenger traffic surged. The airport underwent substantial expansions in the 1980s to accommodate growing demand, including the construction of a larger terminal building and additional parking bays for various aircraft sizes. In more recent years, the airport has continued to evolve, with upgrades that have modernized its facilities, extended the terminal, and improved parking areas. Notably, the airport has also played a unique role in supporting unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations related to counter-piracy and counter-terrorism efforts in the region, reflecting its growing significance in international security initiatives.
