Fort Dauphin-Tulear, south of Madagascar, and Saint-Denis, Reunion will be linked by Air Madagascar and Air Austral codeshare flights after December 33. Two weekly flights will be operating, on Mondays, in Boeing 737-8 of Air Austral, and Fridays aboard the 737-8 of Air Madagascar. Air Madagascar and Air Austral, by the reciprocal establishment of this new service, thus consolidate their position in the Indian Ocean and are strengthening their respective airline companies.
According to Jean-Marc Grazzini, Air Austral’s assistant general manager of commercial affairs said the flights will be code-share operated. “This is a realization of our strategic partnership and it augurs for other openings in the future. We target the leisure clientele. There will necessarily be a clientele for business. ”
Jean-Marc Grazzini explains that there has been a strong demand for these destinations. He believes that these services will attract a significant number of tourists and a Mauritian clientele. “There will be connections from Mauritius,” he adds. Sales opened on Monday, September 24th. Air Austral President and CEO, Marie Joseph Malé, who spoke in a statement, said the partnership with Air Madagascar is “win-win”. Air Madagascar’s general manager, Besoa Razafimaharo, says that “it is the south of Madagascar that opens to the Indian Ocean via this air bridge, a strong sign of a new development for our two companies. “
