​The Islands Development Company (IDC) proudly announces the arrival of its newest aircraft, the Tecnam P2012 STOL, to Seychelles. The aircraft landed at Seychelles International Airport last evening, greeted with an impressive water cannon salute by the Airport Fire and Rescue Service.
The Tecnam plane, manufactured in Capua, Italy, embarked on its journey to Seychelles under the skilled command of IDC’s Captain Marcus Labrosse, accompanied by Francesco Frare, a seasoned ferry pilot from Tecnam. The aircraft’s journey was a testament to its resilience and performance, and included multiple refuelling stops at airports across northern and eastern Africa.
Renowned for its short take-off and landing (STOL) capabilities, the Tecnam P2012 STOL is a strategic addition to IDC’s fleet. This versatile aircraft will enhance operations across all islands managed by IDC, particularly those with shorter airfields, thereby improving accessibility and operational efficiency.
To ensure seamless integration into IDC’s operations, six IDC pilots have undergone rigorous training and are fully qualified to operate the plane.
This investment in both technology and human resources underscores IDC’s commitment to advancing its aviation services, supporting the sustainable development of the outer islands of Seychelles.

​The Island Development Company (IDC) has commenced its biannual Island Managers’ Workshop today, marking the beginning of a significant two-day working session.
