en.Wedoany.com Reported - Airlink has announced that it will launch direct flights from Cape Town to Mauritius on October 2, 2026, operating twice weekly. Bookings for the route are now open, marking the first time Airlink has operated flights to this Indian Ocean island.

Mauritius, renowned for its beach resorts and golf courses, offers visa-on-arrival services to citizens of over 140 countries, continuing to attract tourists. The island nation has a diversified economy encompassing information technology, financial services, textile manufacturing, sugarcane cultivation, and fishing. Coupled with tax incentives and offshore business benefits, it has become a significant investment and trade hub.

Airlink will deploy its Embraer E195-E2 aircraft on the new route. This aircraft, Airlink's new flagship, accommodates 124 passengers with 12 business class seats and 112 economy class seats, offering only window and aisle seats with no middle seats on any flight.

Airlink CEO de Villiers Engelbrecht stated that the E195-E2 model enables the company to conveniently connect Cape Town with Mauritius. Cape Town serves as a key source market and connection hub, catering to leisure and business travelers who wish to avoid transiting through Johannesburg.

Cape Town is Airlink's second hub, offering domestic and regional flights, as well as long-haul connections through global partner airlines. Airlink has designed the flight schedule to allow leisure travelers to maximize their vacation time and business travelers to optimize their itineraries, avoiding departures or arrivals around midnight or dawn.

Passengers on these flights will enjoy complimentary meals and beverages, with the cabin configuration providing ample legroom. All passengers are entitled to 15 kilograms of sports equipment baggage allowance. Additionally, discounted economy class tickets include 20 kilograms of free baggage allowance, while full-fare economy class passengers receive 30 kilograms.

Travelers can plan, book, and manage their trips by visiting www.flyairlink.com, downloading the FlyAirlink mobile app, or contacting a travel agent.
