Airlink will increase return flights between Johannesburg and Vilanculos, Mozambique, to 11 a week from 08 January 2024.
According to a company press release issued on Monday, Airlink, who currently operates a daily service on the route, came to the decision to add another flight every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday in response to increased demand for direct services to the popular Indian Ocean coastal resort.
“We fly our comfortable and efficient Embraer E-Jets and Regional Jets on the route,” reads the Airlink press release..
Mbombela-Vilanculos flights to be cancelled
The schedule change will however see the cancellation of direct flights between Mbombela (formerly Nelspruit) and Vilanculos after 05 January 2024.
“As the premier regional airline, Airlink sets out to provide travellers with the connections they desire. 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.,” said Airlink CEO and Managing Director, Rodger Foster.
“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,” Foster added.
The new schedule will begin on 8 January next year, increasing from 7 to 11 flights.
