en.Wedoany.com Reported - Airlink has announced that it will launch a direct route from Cape Town to Mauritius starting October 2, operating two flights per week. Bookings for the route are now open.

This new route marks Airlink's first service to the Indian Ocean island nation.

Airlink will deploy its brand-new Embraer E195-E2 aircraft on this route. The aircraft can accommodate 124 passengers, with 12 seats in business class and 112 seats in economy class.

Mauritius, a popular tourist destination, has also become a significant hub for investment and trade.

Airlink CEO De Villiers Engelbrecht stated that the company's new E195-E2 aircraft enables it to connect Cape Town and Mauritius. He noted that Cape Town is a key source market and a connecting hub for leisure and business travelers heading to the island, allowing passengers to avoid the inconvenience and extra time associated with transiting through Johannesburg.

Airlink is designing the schedule for this new route to maximize vacation time for leisure travelers while enabling business travelers to optimize their itineraries, avoiding inconvenient departure or arrival times such as midnight or early morning.

Additionally, Airlink passengers can carry 15 kilograms of sports equipment. Passengers with discounted economy tickets can check in 20 kilograms of luggage free of charge, while those with full-fare economy tickets enjoy a baggage allowance of 30 kilograms.
