In 2020 following the sudden drop in travel demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, flying for a time was at a standstill. For a regional carrier to remain commercially viable, following the closure of borders across our network, we had to quickly shift our strategy to focus on operating cargo, repatriation and charter flights. Amidst the global pandemic, the beautiful colours of the Air Seychelles livery were spotted at more than 30 destinations across the Asian, European and African continents connecting stranded families together in addition to delivering essential COVID-19 medical supplies. This incredible yet challenging journey, requiring intense planning, really tested the capacity of our assets and teams who I must say embraced all obstacles with great determination. Today I am beyond proud to be part of the Air Seychelles family to which I salute and extend my gratitude for always keeping up the positive momentum. Despite the unprecedented event, the tireless efforts of the entire Air Seychelles team were recognised at the 2020 World Travel Awards where the airline collected three prestigious accolades including ‘Indian Ocean’s Leading Airline’, ‘Indian Ocean’s Leading Airline – Business Class 2020’ as well as ‘Indian Ocean’s Leading Cabin Crew 2020’ for the fifth year running.

Family responsibilities, obligations, and commitment in the Seychelles Farida G Henriette Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology June 2018 Keele University Abstract Drawing on a small-scale qualitative study, this thesis examines family relations in post- colonial Seychelles. The Seychelles is considered a post-colonial society because it used to be a colony. The aim of this qualitative research, using an interpretive epistemology, is to explore family responsibilities, obligations, and commitment in the Seychelles, and how this varies for different generations and genders. Semi-structured interviews and vignettes were used to gather data from forty participants who consented to take part in the research. The analysis of the data revealed that there are different types of family structures and they are in flux. Post-colonial societies have certain common characteristics and the analysis of the data revealed that the racial, power and gender characteristics common to such societies can be found in the Seychellois Creole family. The analysis revealed that gender is more important than the other characteristics which post-colonial writers have written about and that several family practices are considered as gendered practices.

Although an Indian route had been pioneered before the First World War, after it ended, fourteen years would pass before the route was established on a permanent basis. The research provides an explanation for the late start and subsequent slow development of the India route. The overall finding is that progress was held back by a combination of interconnected factors operating in both Britain and the Persian Gulf region. These included economic, political, administrative, diplomatic, technological, and cultural factors. The arguments are developed through a methodology that focuses upon two key theoretical concepts which relate, firstly, to interwar civil aviation as part of a dimension of empire, and secondly, to the history of aviation as a new technology.

  • Networking the Blue Economy in Seychelles: Pioneers, Resistance, and the Power of Influence
    Networking the Blue Economy in Seychelles: pioneers, resistance, and the power of influence Marleen S. Schutter1 Christina C. Hicks Lancaster University, UK Abstract The Blue Economy has gained traction as a key concept that seeks to stem biodiversity loss whilst stimulating economic development, thereby integrating environmental and economic interests. Although the Blue Economy builds on the more familiar Green Economy, academic critique is still emerging and can be slow to translate into changes in policy and practice. What the Blue Economy means to national and local policy makers and practioners is seldom explored, and specificity is lacking on how the triple bottom line of economic growth, environmental sustainability, and social equity can be attained. This article explores these issues in one of the pioneering nations promoting the Blue Economy – the Republic of Seychelles – to establish a) how policy makers and practitioners in Seychelles perceive the Blue Economy b) what perspectives influence the concept; and c) who stands to gain or lose from its implementation. Seychelles has a unique position in Africa, due to its remote location in the Indian Ocean, its political history, and its pioneering role in promoting the Blue Economy: it presents itself as a leader for Africa in this respect. Using a combination of interviews and Q-methodology, we identify three perspectives on the Blue Economy in the country. Policymakers and practitioners are either: supportive in principle, critical in practice; pragmatic and accepting; or idealistic. These three perspectives capture the interpretations of those tasked with enacting the Blue Economy, but many of the perspectives present in international discourse are not present in the country, and indeed elements of them are met with resistance.

  • Chasing the Monsoon: a Modern Pilgrimage Through India
    CHASING THE MONSOON: A MODERN PILGRIMAGE THROUGH INDIA Author: Alexander Frater Number of Pages: 273 pages Published Date: 06 May 2005 Publisher: Pan MacMillan Publication Country: London, United Kingdom Language: English ISBN: 9780330433136 DOWNLOAD: CHASING THE MONSOON: A MODERN PILGRIMAGE THROUGH INDIA Chasing the Monsoon: A Modern Pilgrimage Through India PDF Book In fact, a large portion of the book is taken up by Kerala, justified because of its importance in the scheme of things in this context. The binding of my original copy is broken, with the pages - stained with sweat, tanning oil, seawater, sand and muck - secured between the covers by means of a large rubber band. Almost there! All in all, a highly recommended book. The book is full of chance happenings, and meetings with people who are affable and whimsical at the same time, acting out in a typical way which has come to be characterized by the melange of cultures that India is. Forgot your password? Publication date. Great read. Throughout most of India, the onset of the monsoon rains, the "burst," was eagerly anticipated, the arrival of life- giving rains and cooler weather celebrated for centuries in art, poetry, and song. Though much of the book is littered with climactic Greek and latin phrases about cumulonimbus, wind shear, etc , one does not really need to understand the minutiae to enjoy the book.
