AIR Mauritius and SAA
have strengthened their
codeshare, effective July 1,
moving from a ‘soft block’
to a ‘free flow’ arrangement.
Air Mauritius regional
manager for Southern Africa
and Latin America, Carla
da Silva, says the airlines
will have more scope to
collaborate and co-ordinate
flight schedules and
inventories and open up
sales opportunities. “There
are no restrictions as with
our previous arrangement,
which had a set amount of
seats,” she says.
The agreement will cover
all MK- and SAA-operated
flights between Mauritius
and Johannesburg and
beyond, whereby each
airline will codeshare on
the other airline’s operated
flights.
