The twice-weekly service will be withdrawn on 24 April, only two years after it was reintroduced by the carrier and with operators including Kuoni reporting a spike in bookings for remote island getaways. However, the Seychelles route is also one operated by Gulf carriers at lower cost than BA.
Other BA routes with a high proportion of leisure travellers to be axed include Lima, Muscat, Charleston, Kuala Lumpur and Calgary, which attracts winter sports fans to resorts including Banff and Lake Louise.
