The carrier will operate three return Airbus A330 services from the Chinese capital, as part of an agreement signed with a Chinese tour operator Caissa.

Last year, up to half a billion Chinese nationals are estimated to have travelled domestically and overseas during the Golden Week celebrations.

The carriers Beijing service will complement the recently-announced charter flights from Chengdu, which Air Seychelles is set to operate in July and August.
