Contingency Plan for Lengthy Tarmac Delays

On rare occasions an Air Seychelles flight may experience delay whilst on the ground at an airport.  During this time, our goal is to ensure that any flight disruption is kept to a minimum, and that our guests’ journey with Air Seychelles continues to be an inspired experience.

What is a lengthy tarmac delay?

Any four-hour or longer delay that occurs while an Air Seychelles aircraft is on-ground at a airport during: 

  • Taxi out – from the time the aircraft pushes away from the gate until it is in the air;
  • Taxi in – from the time the aircraft lands until it is parked at a gate; or
  • Diversions – unscheduled stops at a US airport due to weather events, medical emergencies or other causes.
Air Seychelles tarmac delay policy

The Air Seychelles  Network Operations Centre (NOC) employees, third-party ground handling agent employees, Air Seychelles airport operation teams, flight crews, air traffic control coordinators and airport operator employees will work together to:

  1. Provide adequate food and water no later than two hours after the aircraft leaves the gate (in the case of a departure) or touches down (in the case of an arrival) if the aircraft remains on the tarmac, unless the pilot-in-command determines that safety or security considerations preclude such service.
  2. Assure that upon departure from or arrival at airport the aircraft shall not remain on the tarmac for more than four hours before allowing passengers to deplane.  The flight crew and air traffic control will coordinate any exceptions to this legal requirement. Exceptions may be made if:

a. The pilot in command determines there is a safety or security risk to deplaning guests, such as a weather event or
an air traffic control directive; or
b. Air Traffic Control advises that returning to a gate or allowing guests to deplane at an area other than a gate would significantly disrupt airport operations.

3. In either of these scenarios, Air Seychelles will continue to assess conditions in an effort to maintain  compliance with our customer service plan and DoT regulations.

Proactively manage the pushback of an aircraft to prevent delays lasting more than four hours, to the best of our ability.

Proactively manage taxi-in delays to prevent delays lasting more than four hours, to the best of our ability. Proactively manage diversions to prevent delays from lasting more than four hours, to the best of our ability.

Provide or arrange lavatory facilities as well as adequate medical attention, if needed, while an aircraft remains on the tarmac.

Provide information to guests regarding the status of the delay every 30 minutes, including reasons for the delay if they are known, via Air Seychelles airport operation teams and flight crews.

Provide information every 30 minutes to guests onboard an aircraft that they may disembark if they wish to, but only when this is actually possible, and safe to do so, via Air Seychelles airport operation teams and flight crews.

Air Seychelles has sufficient resources to implement this plan.

Extra legroom seats

Extra legroom seats are not offered on codeshare flights marketed by Air Seychelles.

The price of the seat is per person, per flight sector. In the event of aircraft type change, Air Seychelles will exert its reasonable efforts to re-accommodate guests in like seats. In the case where extra legroom seats are not available, Air Seychelles will refund the amount paid per person, per sector which cannot be accommodated.

The extra legroom seats are assigned only upon full payment of the extra legroom seat fees and ticket fare. Payment for the extra legroom seats will not earn any additional Air Seychelles Guest Miles points.


The extra-legroom seats are non-transferrable and non-refundable. We shall refund the payment you made for the extra legroom seat only in the following instances:

- The flight is cancelled by us,

or;

- If the extra-legroom seat is unavailable due to aircraft change

Extra Legroom Safety Requirements

To be seated in an exit row seat with extra legroom, guests must:

1. Be 18 years old or above;
2. Must be able to locate, physically reach, open and evacuate the emergency window or door;
3. Must be able to understand and carry out instructions provided on the safety card, or instructions given by cabin crew in either French or English during an emergency evacuation;
4. Must be able to assist crew and guests in the event of an aircraft evacuation;
5. Must be able to check the outside conditions and carry out cabin crew requests before opening the emergency exit;
6. Guests must not be pregnant;
7. Guests must not have any physical mobility conditions preventing them from performing any of the above duties, regardless of age, injury, physical or psychological conditions, vision or hearing problems or general sickness;
8. Guests must not be travelling with children or infants;
9. Guests must not be travelling with a carer or guide dog.

If our Air Seychelles Guest Service staff confirms that the guest does not meet any of the required safety criteria, we may re-assign to you a regular economy seat before or during the journey without refund of the extra-legroom seat reservation fees.

These important safety requirement means that you will be able to use Web and Kiosk check-in. However, if there are issues onboard the aircraft you are subject to being moved if you do not meet the exit row seating criteria.

Resident fares are valid for domestic flights i.e. Mahe to Praslin and vice versa and for through flights from Praslin to international destinations.

Residents must present their Seychelles National Identity card at the time of check-in and may also be required to present the card at the boarding gate.  For through flights, a passport must be shown.  Each adult must provide their National Identity.  Infants less than two years old, traveling with adults do not need to provide a national identification card.  Adult passengers who fail to present their National Identity will be denied boarding and their ticket will become non-refundable.
