Airlink Launches Flights Between Mpumalanga and Victoria Falls

Barely 48 hours after commencing flights between Johannesburg and Nairobi, Airlink has announced that it will launch flights between Mbombela (Nelspruit) and Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, from 28 November 2023.

The new route will complement Airlink’s existing service between Mbombela’s Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (KMIA) and Livingstone on the Zambian side of the world-famous waterfalls. 

“The new service to Victoria Falls expands our direct connections between Southern Africa’s prime tourist attractions, i.e. the Kruger National Park and surrounds, Victoria Falls as well as Cape Town and the Garden Route.

The new route provides travellers with a greater choice of itineraries using direct Airlink flights and without having to connect via Johannesburg,” said Airlink CEO and Managing Director, Rodger Foster.

To facilitate the new service, Airlink will adjust its KMIA-Livingstone flights to four per week.

The schedule will see the following flights being operated with modern Embraer regional jets:

Mbombela – Victoria Falls

Flight 4Z476 will depart KMIA at 11.35 and arrives Victoria Falls at 13.25. Flight 4Z477 will depart Victoria Falls at 14.00 and arrive KMIA at 15.40. All times are local.

Mbombela - Livingstone

Flight 4Z470 will depart KMIA at 11.35 and arrive Livingstone at 13.30. Flight 4Z471 will depart Livingstone at 14.00 and arrive KMIA at 15.40. All times are local.
