South African private-sector regional airline Airlink announced on Thursday that it would restart its direct service between Johannesburg and Nampula in Mozambique. The service would recommence on September 16. Bookings had already been reopened for the route, which had been suspended in March last year.

Nampula is the third biggest city in Mozambique and capital of the province of the same name. It is located 194 km inland of the port cities of Nacala and Mozambique.

"Given Nampula's strategic importance as northern Mozambique's key commercial centre for mining, agriculture and tourism, Airlink is proud and excited to have the opportunity to support and serve businesses in this region," highlighted Airlink CEO and MD Rodger Foster. "By providing the crucial air connectivity we are able to play our part in promoting the development of critically important commercial, trade and economic ties between South Africa and Mozambique."
