Airlink is exploring network expansion opportunities in Mozambique.
According to Club of Mozambique, the carrier is conducting market research to assess the viability of a route between OR Tambo International in Johannesburg and Nacala in Nampula province, Northern Mozambique.
The Governor of Nampula, Eduardo Abdula, told Club of Mozambique that the airline expressed interest in starting with two weekly flights on the route.
“As an airline responsive to the evolving needs of its customers and markets, Airlink regularly engages with destination representatives to explore network opportunities. This includes Mozambique, which is an important Airlink market where we currently provide scheduled services between South Africa and Maputo, Beira, Nampula, Vilanculos, Pemba and Tete,” Airlink CEO, de Villiers Engelbrecht told Travel News.
