Mozambique: Airlink to start Johannesburg-Nacala flights in February

South African airline Airlink is expected to begin flights between Johannesburg and Nacala International Airport from the first week of February 2026. This initiative aims to strengthen Nampula province’s connectivity and meet the growing demand for air mobility, as well as to boost passenger flow and reinforce the presence of international operators in the region.

Airlink already operates flights to Nampula, but both the local population and business sector have been requesting a direct route between Nacala and Johannesburg. The announcement was made yesterday by the Governor of Nampula, Eduardo Abdula, following a visit to Nampula International Airport.
