Seems like the MoD has reverse their decision as air seychelles just got its contract renewed for both flights. MoD stated 'outstanding performance' by air seychelles as reason for giving them the exclusive right do the all airbridge flights.

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?

I really feel bad for Air seychelles, I mean if they were giving such good service why should they go? MoD didnt renew Titans contract last time as they were not satisfying the MoD but now they virtually had no choice but to give it to Titan.
@SKI you are right mate, its said to be that Titan was furious over Air Seychelles getting that contract and I dont need to say about their reaction when Air Seychelles contract was renewed.Now that they did "something" with the Ministry of transport that forced MoD to end Air Seychelles contract.

UK is 17th in the corruption league, top is New Zealand, bottom Somalia. Not sure where Seychelles are but they seem to be good at covering things up if the recent shark attacks are to go by....
