Airlink will launch its first direct flights between Cape Town and Maputo from August 31.
Its 37-seat Embraer 135 regional jets will be used on the new service, which will initially operate three times a week.
“This new route also supports Airlink’s strategy to grow and develop its network and schedule of flights connecting Cape Town with other key business and tourism destinations throughout southern Africa,” said CEO and managing director Rodger Foster.
The airline currently provides flights from Johannesburg to Maputo, Beira, Nampula, Pemba, Tete and Vilanculos (which it also serves directly from Mbombela/Nelspruit).
