Flights to Mahé are mostly run by Zil Air (Vulcan Air or Tecnam aircraft), sometimes Air Seychelles Twin Otter; the strip is licensed for daytime operations only. First-aid trained staff are on the island and helicopter evacuation can be arranged. The lodge has free wifi but no mobile network. Coordinate from the Wikipedia Bird Island Airport article.
