Seychelles' Assumption Island airstrip to be extended

​Plans are underway to make the Seychelles' outer islands more accessible and this will be done through a revamped airstrip on Assumption Island, which will include clearing facilities so that visitors can go straight to the island.
The chief executive of Islands Development Company (IDC), Glenny Savy, said, "The Assumption airstrip will have to be upgraded in two ways; it is too short, and it will have to be lengthened and enlarged to cater to international flights. We also intend to collaborate with SCAA [Seychelles Civil Aviation Authority] so that the facilities that will be added to the airstrip will be adequate for immigration officers to clear incoming visitors for example from private jets or cruise ships similar to the ones on Mahe."
