Mango to Fly Johannesburg-Zanzibar Route

According to Independent Online, low-cost South African airline Mango will start its weekly flights between Johannesburg and Zanzibar next month, marking its first route outside of South Africa. The flights will be a charter operation for tour operator StayAfrica and are not part of Mango’s own route network yet. Bookings for the flights and accommodation will have to be made through StayAfrica until the year-long charter contract ends. Thereafter Mango intends to fly the route on its own behalf, offering accommodation through SAA Holidays. Mango started flying to Zanzibar for StayAfrica when the sudden suspension of 1time’s flights left many holidaymakers who had booked to stay on the island over the Christmas and New Year period stranded.
