Bad news for Air Seychelles

Titan Airline will take over the MoD routes starting next month. The MoD was extremely happy with Air Seychelles' service and they wanted to keep them till they get their own aircraft, but it seems that Mod Flights cannot be operated by any government subsidized airline stated by ministry of transport in the contract, Air Seychelles is a fully government owned airline. Titan took advantage of this and got the contract now. The MoD is still said to be disappointed that they had to let go of Air Seychelles who were giving such outstanding performance, anyways I hope Air Seychelles made that much needed good money as they were in the red for the past few years.

And I am very surprised how both Air Seychelles and MoD missed that part when signing the contract, maybe they missed the page?
