Is this Airline Safe?

Q: We are considering booking a package to a resort in Mozambique, but notice that the flights are with Air Travelmax. We would be far more comfortable flying SAA, but have been told this is not possible. Is Air Travelmax a safe, reliable airline? Can you give us contact details? Anything information that can reassure us would be appreciated. - Shane Lambert

A: Air Travelmax is a registered airline carrier, which operates out of Lanseria International Airport. It offers flights to Vilanculos and Inhambane airports in Mozambique, using twin turbo propo aircraft. These are small planes seating 10-28 passengers, but the bonus is that all passengers usually end up with a window seat. The airline is part of the larger Executive Turbine Holdings, which has been around for the past 13 years and has a good reputation. The airline also flies to destinations in South Africa and can be contacted on telephone 011-701 3222. SAA only flies to Maputo in Mozambique, so Air Travelmax is a more convenient option.
