Mohahlaula Airlines has revealed plans to launch a local Lesotho airline within the next year.

The operation will initially service the Maseru to Johannesburg route with plans to extend to other destinations in South Africa.

Mohahlaula Airlines is one of two Lesotho companies holding an airline operating certificate (AOC) which allows the company to apply and operate a fully fledged local airline out of Maseru.

Phafane Nkotsi, chief executive officer of Mohahlaula Airlines, said that they are thrilled to announce their intention to launch Mohahlaula Airlines over the next year.

“It’s a service desperately required by Lesotho as the country grows economically and tourism picks up after the pandemic. We are looking forward to playing an essential role in driving Lesotho’s socio-economic growth,” said Nkotsi.
