Airlink heads for Malawi

Malawi is about to get considerably more airlift, providing a welcome boost to its tourism industry.

Airlink, the privately owned South African domestic and regional carrier, is to launch new routes between South Africa and Malawi’s two main cities.

The airline will start operating flights between Johannesburg and Lilongwe from September 4, and Blantyre from September 5.  

This will make Malawi the 16th country to be included in Airlink’s comprehensive route network. It will use its 37-seat Embraer Regional Jets on both new routes, which will operate three times a week.

Ethiopian heads to Atlanta

Ethiopian Airlines launched its new route between Addis Ababa and Atlanta on May 16, its sixth destination to North America, according to airspace-africa.com.

It now offers four flights a week between Addis Ababa and Hartsfield Jackson Airport, operated by a Boeing Dreamliner with 30 seats in business class and 285 in economy.

Departures from Addis are scheduled for Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays at 10h00, to arrive in Dublin at 04h20 the next day. The flight continues 50 minutes later after refuelling, landing in Atlanta at 09h00.

Return flights leave Atlanta on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 10h35, flying direct to Addis Ababa and landing the next day at 07h50.

BA operates daily flights from Heathrow to Abuja, Accra, Nairobi and Lagos and double-daily services to Johannesburg. It also offers an expanded double-daily service to Cape Town over the city’s summer peak season, reverting to daily in winter.

Now, the carrier has announced a new route from Gatwick to Accra, starting on October 29, bringing the total number of weekly flights between the UK and Ghana to 10.

In addition, it has added a new route to Egypt, Sharm El-Sheikh, and doubled the number of flights to Cairo.
