Precious treasures are mostly well hidden in far-away places. The Seychelles were once so well hidden that they were a preferred location for pirates wishing to bury their booty.

Today, the fact that the 115 islands covering an area of only 450 km² are located far from the African mainland in the middle of the Indian Ocean is no longer an obstacle. Perfect flight connections mean that the distance can be covered easily.

Mauritius and the Maldives also rank among the most exclusive dream destinations in this area of the world. As soon as they have landed, passengers at all three destinations are met with the comfort of luggage transportation using tried-and-tested Wanzl technology. In June 2011, Wanzl supplied 1,000 "Voyager 3000" luggage trolleys to Malé International Airport in the Maldives in one major order. This model stands out thanks to its elegant looks combined with its ease of use in transporting luggage. The Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport in Mauritius has experienced the benefits of Wanzl trolleys for some years now: here, passengers are helped to transport their cases with the "Travel 300" stainless steel luggage trolley.

This autumn, Wanzl will be making another delivery to the Indian Ocean – the international airport in the Seychelles has opted to purchase 450 "Travel 300 BL" trolleys. This variant offers well-thought-out detailed solutions, with the innovative braking mechanism being a particular benefit: when the trolleys are pushed into each other to save space the brake is automatically triggered, and all wheels remain in contact with the ground at all times. This unique technology means that it is particularly easy for passengers to remove trolleys from the dispensing area and for service personnel to move and manoeuvre the trolleys safely when they are linked together.

Quality– made by Wanzl
The three airports opted to use Wanzl as a supplier on account of the company’s positive reputation when it comes to material and processing quality. All trolleys are produced from aluminium or stainless steel, which helps to increase their service lives and maintain a perfect outer surface in spite of the high salt content of the air due to the close proximity to the sea.

The trolleys, numbering just under 1,800, are also equipped with an ergonomically designed oval handle and the durable original Wanzl wheels and offer a separate space for hand luggage. Wanzl trolleys are easy to manoeuvre and steer even when fully laden and thus guarantee convenience and first-class comfort when transporting luggage. For Wanzl, the global market leader in luggage trolleys, these orders for three of the world's most exclusive holiday destinations mean that the company's quality has once again held its own in international competition.

A major order in June 2011: 1,000 Wanzl "Voyager 3000" luggage trolleys for Malé International Airport in the Maldives. Thanks to this comfort, your holiday fun starts at the airport.

300 Wanzl "Travel 300" luggage trolleys have been making luggage transportation easier at the international airport in Mauritius for years. This autumn, Wanzl will supply a further 450 "Travel 300 BL" trolleys to the airport in the Seychelles.

Exclusive holiday dreams in the Indian Ocean – with Wanzl's help, travelling in style starts at the airport's luggage handling systems.
