Industrial site
The logistics center at Amitié Airport on Praslin is the most critical hub for goods transport between the Seychelles' main islands. The airport does not only serve tourism but acts as a vital link for the rapid transport of fresh produce, mail, and spare parts from Mahé to Praslin and La Digue. Logistics facilities include sorting areas for air freight and specialized handling equipment for quick transfers between aircraft and ground vehicles. As many hotels and businesses on Praslin rely on daily deliveries, the logistics center operates at a high frequency. Air Seychelles conducts a significant portion of its cargo operations here using small feeder aircraft. The efficiency of this hub is crucial for the functioning of the local economy on the 'Inner Islands' and supports the supply security of the population.
