Airlink to Launch New Kruger/Vic Falls Route

Independent regional airline, Airlink, will launch flights between Mbombela (Nelspruit) and Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, from November 28.

The new route will complement Airlink’s existing service between Mbombela’s Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (KMIA) and Livingstone on the Zambian side of the world-famous waterfall.

“The new service to Victoria Falls expands our direct connections between Southern Africa’s prime tourist attractions, i.e. the Kruger National Park and surrounds, Victoria Falls, as well as Cape Town and the Garden Route,” said Airlink CEO and MD,  Rodger Foster.

“The new route provides travellers with a greater choice of itineraries using direct Airlink flights and without having to connect via Johannesburg.”

To facilitate the new service, Airlink will adjust its KMIA-Livingstone flights to four per week.

The schedule will see the following flights being operated with modern Embraer regional jets.
