Airlink, Southern Africa’s premier regional airline, has announced that it will expand its route network to include Nacala, Mozambique’s scenic coastal city, from February 2026, Cape {town} Etc reports.

The addition marks Airlink’s seventh destination in Mozambique, reinforcing the airline’s commitment to improving regional connectivity for both business and leisure travellers.

Beginning 2 February next year, the Johannesburg–Nacala route will operate twice weekly, with return flights every Monday and Friday. According to the airline, the new service will be operated using its comfortable and efficient Embraer regional jet aircraft.

‘By adding Nacala to our network, Airlink is able to provide additional vital connectivity for business and leisure travellers to and from Mozambique’s economically-important north-eastern region, complementing our current services to Nampula,’ explained Airlink CEO, De Villiers Engelbrecht.
