Airlink

Airlink is a leading independent regional airline headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa. Founded in 1992, the airline has grown from a small regional carrier into one of Southern and sub-Saharan Africa's most extensive scheduled networks, operating hundreds of weekly flights to destinations across South Africa and neighbouring countries including Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Namibia, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Mauritius, and beyond.

Operating independently since July 2021 — when it separated from its previous commercial partnership with South African Airways — Airlink has firmly established itself as a self-sufficient carrier with its own IATA code and global distribution presence. The airline is a strong advocate for air connectivity in underserved regional markets, frequently operating routes that no other carrier serves, making it a critical lifeline for businesses and communities throughout the sub-continent.

With a modern, fuel-efficient fleet and a commitment to safety, punctuality, and warm African hospitality, Airlink consistently ranks among the most on-time airlines in the region. The carrier holds an IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit) registration and maintains high operational standards benchmarked against global best practices.

Airlink is a codeshare and interline partner with a number of major international carriers, enabling seamless connections between its regional network and long-haul flights for travellers worldwide. Whether connecting business travellers to capital cities or tourists to world-famous safari destinations, Airlink remains the essential bridge between Southern Africa's communities and the wider world.
