- The increase is a response to FlyDubai's flight cancellations and onward travel restrictions via Dubai.

Spirit Productions World, an Israeli tourism company, announced it will increase direct flights from Israel to the Seychelles in March and April 2027, including the Passover holiday period. The company will offer ten exclusive flights, adding three more than previously planned, operated by an Israeli airline and Air Seychelles.
This expansion comes in response to canceled flights by FlyDubai to Israel and restrictions on onward travel from Israel via Dubai with Emirates, which have limited options for Israeli travelers to various destinations. Spirit Productions World has also expanded its hotel room allocations in the Seychelles through long-term agreements with local hotels to meet demand and offer competitive vacation packages.
Tali Yativ, the owner and CEO of Spirit Productions World, stated that demand for Seychelles vacations is rising throughout the winter, with flights for Hanukkah already nearly full. She cited the warm weather, sense of security, and welcoming atmosphere for Israeli tourists as reasons for the destination's popularity.
Yativ added that the decision to increase flights was also influenced by the reduced connectivity through Dubai. The company will continue to operate direct flights to the Seychelles year-round, alongside the additional exclusive flights for March and Passover.
