Independent regional carrier, Airlink, will increase return flights between Johannesburg and Vilanculos, Mozambique, to 11 a week from January 8 next year.
Airlink currently operates a daily service on the route. The decision to add another flight every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday is in response to increased demand for direct services to the popular Indian Ocean coastal resort. Airlink deploys its Embraer E-Jets and Regional Jets on the route.
“As the premier regional airline, Airlink sets out to provide travellers with the desired connections. The market for combined bush and beach holidays is highly seasonal, and, as a result, we are transferring capacity to the Johannesburg-Vilanculos service which has shown significant traffic demand.
“Customers who would have travelled directly from Mbombela to Vilanculos will still be able to combine their bush safaris and exotic beach experiences, using our connections through our Johannesburg-OR Tambo International hub,” explained Airlink CEO and MD, Rodger Foster.
The expanded schedule below is effective January 8, 2024.
