Emirates is to resume passenger flights to the Seychelles from August 1 as the country reopens to international tourists.



The Dubai airline will provide five flights a week with a Boeing 777-300ER, while also increasing its service to the Maldives from five to six flights a week from August 4.



Emirates' route network is gradually reopening since it was closed in March owing to the coronavirus pandemic.



The Seychelles takes the number of destinations Emirates will be flying to on August 1 to 63 (see slideshow below) and is the eighth Asian location along with Islamabad, Colombo, Kabul, Male, Lahore, Dhaka and Karachi.
