Breaking news: Mango flights resume tomorrow

After a week in which agents and passengers alike have torn out their hair with frustration at Mango’s announcement that it will cease flying tomorrow, May 1, this afternoon, Mango’s head of sales, Koos Mhlongo,  sent out a communication to the airline’s agent partners, saying Mango will continue with services from tomorrow (Saturday, May 1) onwards.

The email from Koos reads:

“Dear Partners. This is just to confirm that Mango is continuing with its services tomorrow onwards. A formal notification will be out soon. On behalf of Mango , I would like to profusely apologize for inconvenience caused. It has been a challenging and frustrating week…”

The email doesn’t mention Zanzibar flights specifically, but an anonymous industry source told Travel News that it is likely that Zanzibar flights will resume around mid-May.

Another source told Travel News that the resumption of flights is initially for two weeks only, and it is likely that the schedule will be pruned down to fewer flights on fewer on all routes.
