South African premier airline Airlink is increasing return flights between Johannesburg and Vilanculos, Mozambique, from 8 January 2024, due to rising demand for direct services to the destination.
The route, currently operating a daily service, will increase to 11 flights weekly. The airline will continue to operate the popular route with its E190 E-Jets and Embraer ERJ135 regional jet.
“As the premier regional airline, Airlink sets out to provide travellers with the connections they desire,” said Rodger Foster, CEO and Managing Director, Airlink.
“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 convenient connections through our Johannesburg-OR Tambo International hub.”
