Airlink CEO and MD, Rodger Foster, said that as they are a premier regional airline, they aim to provide travellers with desired connections.

“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.” Foster said, as per Travel News.

“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.
