airlink increases capacity from cape town and mpumalanga
Effective 21 January 2008, Airlink will be increasing capacity on its direct daily flight’s between Cape Town (CPT) and Mpumalanga (MQP) by 162%.
Currently the airline operates the route with 37 seater, ERJ135 aircraft and now by utilizing BAE146-200 aircraft will increase this to 97 seats. The increased daily capacity between CPT and MQP amounts to an additional 3500 seats per month.
The introduction of the additional capacity is in response to not only increasing business traveller demand but also to provide tour operators marketing the Kruger destination from Cape Town the opportunity to secure more seats on Airlink’s direct daily CPT – MQP services.
With Nelspruit KMIA being the gateway to the famous Kruger National Park and a variety of Private Game Reserves such as Mala Mala, Lion Sands, Sabi Sabi and Londolozi, this additional capacity is essential to servicing the growing demand for leisure travel to the Kruger region and will provide onward connections with the new services being introduced by long haul carriers such Delta and Emirates into CPT, further stimulating in-bound tourism growth.
