It is a long route for this airline. However this is a shorter way to get to Seychelles rather than go via Dubai or Doha from India. May be more inexpensive also.

Lets see how long this lasts, they would need significant connecting traffic for this to work.

It is hardly a long route. CMB-SEZ is about 1630 nm, which is a piece of cake for an A320.

I agree about the traffic though, particularly from Sri Lanka or India.

Mihin can make it work if they offer something a Sri Lanka -Seychelles tourist package for the sun seekers from the West.
