From 11 March 2016, Airlink will provide direct flights between Cape Town and Maun (Botswana).
The combination of Airlink’s new direct Cape Town – Maun service with Airlink’s other services Johannesburg – Maun, Johannesburg – Kasane, Livingstone – Nelspruit/Kruger and Nelspruit/Kruger – Cape Town and Skukuza – Cape Town, will provide the global leisure tour product industry with a complete fully flexible integrated travel circuit, from which to structure their guest’s itineraries.
Airlink’s direct flights will assure travellers the opportunity to minimise time spent in transit and maximise their time spent at the various world renowned tourism destinations, which South Africa promotes so successfully to the global travel market.
