On 30 January 2023, Airlink will restart scheduled services between South Africa and Madagascar for the first time in three years following the lifting of Madagascar’s COVID-19 travel restrictions and its subsequent ban on air services to and from South Africa.
The Johannesburg to Antananarivo service will recommence on 30 January 2023, with a single weekly flight on Mondays, increasing to three flights weekly from 14 February, with the intention of reinstating daily services as demand increases.
The world’s fourth largest island, Madagascar, is situated just off the east coast of Africa and is home to a wealth of unique flora and fauna.
Few countries on the planet can match Madagascar’s biodiversity – over 70% of the 250,000 wildlife species on the island are found nowhere else in the world, and it’s estimated that 90% of the plant-life on the island is also native to the country.
Madagascar’s tropical climate, pristine beaches, friendly locals, and diversity of wildlife make it a must-visit destination for travelers.
There has been no better time to tick Madagascar off the bucket list.
