LAM Back in The Saddle with Great New Domestic Routes
LAM is back in the saddle with great new domestic routes with discounted ticket prices so ditch that self-drive idea across Mozambique if you can fly direct from Johannesburg to Vilanculos now, 11 times a week. Then, from there, choose to cruise the Bazaruto Islands in style or head on down to southern Mozambique for a bit of bush and beach at the amazing
Mozambique Special Reserve and Ponta Mamoli.
Under new management by a South African company, Fly Modern Ark, LAM has made several improvements including acquiring 2 new Bombardier JRC 900 aircraft, ensuring fewer cancelled or delayed flights and improved punctuality – along with better financial management to move from a bankrupt position to a solvent one.
On this note, the Mozambique government announced new flight
schedules between Maputo and Lusaka, Zambia to promote inter-country relations, tourism and commercial opportunities for all. It is highly likely that more international flights mean more exposure for Mozambique throughout Africa and also in Europe if the Maputo-Lisbon route is revived. The LAM is also planning new routes to Brazil, India, Dubai and China to open the skies to more tourism, development and business opportunities.
These are the new
Mozambican Airline domestic routes within Mozambique:
- Beira – Nampula – Beira: daily
- Beira – Tete – Quelimane – Beira: on Tuesdays and Saturdays
- Beira – Quelimane – Tete – Beira: on Mondays and Thursdays
- Beira – Pemba – Beira: on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays
- Beira – Tete – Nampula – Beira: on Wednesdays and Sundays
- Beira – Nampula – Tete – Beira: on Fridays
Cheap Flights to Vilanculos from Maputo
SA Airlink will now offer 11 flights a week between Johannesburg and Vilanculos, as of January 2024, instead of just one flight a day on this route. This will make travel to Mozambique from South Africa better and easier thanks to air travel commitments from SA Airlink and LAM Airlines. Tickets are 30% cheaper as of 1 July to encourage tourism and business investment in
Mozambique because SA Airlink has seen an increased demand in travel between Johannesburg and Vilanculos, on a route that takes tourists to enjoy top Mozambique beaches, the Bazaruto Islands and more.
Vilanculos is a superb central holiday region accommodating tourists who want to travel further south to the Maputo Special Reserve and Ponta do Ouro or to the idyllic islands of Bazaruto and Benguerra. Whale-watching season is now, attracting marine lovers to see these sights and do some diving and snorkelling in the warm Indian Ocean.
Choose one of 11 weekly flights from Johannesburg to Vilanculos and return again a few days later on the new flight schedules as offered now by LAM. Spend a few nights in this magical gateway to the Bazaruto Archipelago, one of the true Mozambique tourism jewels. See dugongs wafting along over the sea grasses down below and watch dolphins playing in the swells. Island life is the best way to relax in Mozambique so take to the skies and make life more meaningful today.
