Airlink CEO and MD, Rodger Foster, said that the new Malawi route would help to support the revitalisation of tourism and the current Malawi Growth and Development Strategy.
“As the premier regional airline, Airlink sets out to provide travellers to and from Malawi with optimal connectivity through a wide choice of conveniently scheduled flights and connections within the region and, through our partners, to the rest of the world.” Foster said, as per Travel News.
“In addition to supporting the revitalisation of tourism, Airlink’s new routes will also be able to play a key role in the current Malawi Growth and Development Strategy, which aims to diversify the economy and build a wealthy, self-reliant and industrialised middle-income country,” Foster added.
