On Sunday, March 20, Airlink relaunched flights between Johannesburg and Nosy Be in Madagascar.

The new route operates once a week on Sundays with flight SA 8246 departing JNB at 09h30 and arriving at NOS at 14h00. Return flight SA 8247 departs NOS at 14h45 and arrives in JNB at 18h45.

“Due to the flight duration and prevailing headwinds there will be a scheduled en-route technical fuel stop in Beira on the return flight,” the airline said in a statement. The fuel stop was originally scheduled for Vilanculos.

The airline pulled its Nosy Be service in 2007 following poor demand on the route.
