Air Austral announced on October 16 the establishment of a bilateral commercial agreement with the South African company Airlink..
It allows Air Austral to expand its offer of destinations in southern Africa, in addition to those already accessible via South African Airways. Passengers traveling between Reunion and Johannesburg can now access, in correspondence, to the entire Airlink network : 45 destinations in South Africa and the region. For its part, Airlink can offer its customers flights beyond Reunion Island on the Air Austral regional network with a single price.. The Reunion company has also signed an agreement with its New Caledonian counterpart Air Calin, which has made it possible since November 1 to offer a simplified connection between Reunion and Nouméa, via Bangkok. The flights operated respectively on Nouméa-Bangkok-Paris by Air Calin and on Réunion-Bangkok by Air Austral allow connections in the Thai capital on Thursday in the direction Réunion-Nouméa and on Wednesday and Saturday in the direction Nouméa-Réunion. Passengers only need to purchase one ticket for their entire journey, and the continuity of their luggage is ensured from start to finish.
