Airlink takes over Johannesburg // Vilancoulos (Mozambique) flight route
Many passengers have been concerned that Fed Air have withdrawn from the Johannesburg // Vilancoulos, Mozambique route.

The GOOD NEWS for 2013 is that SAA AIRLINK has now gained authority to take the route which will operate under an SAA flight code. This is good news as passengers travelling from most key markets will be able to interline luggage direct to Vilancoulos and get boarding passes for all sectors on check in!

Vilanculos is the gateway to the tropical Bazaruto Archipelago. Indigo Bay is perhaps the most well know resort.
