๐ข Terminal Information
Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) on Mahรฉ Island serves as the primary international gateway to the Seychelles archipelago and operates as the hub for Air Seychelles. The airport features a modern, single main terminal building designed to handle international traffic, with an adjacent smaller domestic terminal dedicated to inter-island flights within the Seychelles. The main international terminal offers a tropical, open-air architectural design that reflects the islands' natural beauty, with efficient passenger flow from check-in through departure gates. Walking distances within the terminal are manageable, typically 5-10 minutes, making it particularly convenient for the moderate passenger volumes the airport handles.
Security and immigration procedures at SEZ are streamlined and efficient, reflecting the country's emphasis on tourism and hospitality. International arrivals undergo standard passport control and customs processing, with most visitors receiving visa-free entry or visa-on-arrival depending on nationality. The airport processes passengers quickly, and the relaxed island atmosphere extends to the border formalities. For connecting to domestic flights, passengers typically need to move between the international and domestic terminals, which are located adjacent to each other with clear signage and short walking distances.
Amenities at SEZ are tailored to serve international visitors to this tropical paradise. The terminal features several cafes and restaurants offering both international cuisine and local Seychellois specialties, including fresh seafood and Creole dishes. Duty-free shopping is available with a focus on local products, spices, artwork, and souvenirs unique to the Seychelles. A business lounge provides comfortable seating and refreshments for premium passengers. The airport offers reliable Wi-Fi, currency exchange services handling Seychellois rupees, and car rental facilities. Ground transportation to Victoria (the capital) and resort destinations across Mahรฉ is readily available via taxis, hotel shuttles, and rental cars, with scenic routes offering spectacular coastal and mountain views during the 15-30 minute journey depending on destination.
