Airlink expands Southern African regional flight offering
Independent Southern African regional airline Airlink will expand its network next month with the launch of its Johannesburg-Livingstone flights.
The flights are intended to provide travelers with direct access to one of Southern Africa’s most popular tourist attractions – The Victoria Falls.
The new service, which will start on May 26, strengthens the vital commercial connection between South Africa and Zambia provided by Airlink by augmenting Airlink’s daily services between its Johannesburg home base and Zambia’s capital, Lusaka, and the copperbelt’s hub Ndola.
Airlink will also resume its Nelspruit-Livingstone service from May 1, which will enable travellers to visit the Victoria Falls, as well as the Kruger Park and their surrounds while also connecting on to Airlink’s South African destinations such as Cape Town and Durban.
“There is pent-up demand among local and international travellers to visit our region, which is home to some of the world’s most spectacular sights and destinations. With Covid-19 vaccination programmes ramping up in some of our traditional markets, we are seeing the first signs of light after a devastating 2020,” comments Airlink CEO and MD Rodger Foster.
He adds that the company’s Livingstone flights, together with its recently-launched mainline South African domestic services, “put some of the region’s key tourist destinations within easy and convenient reach”.
“With our modern fleet and strict compliance with bio-safety measures, Airlink is able to support the safe revival of tourism and the increased economic activity it stimulates in Zambia,” he notes.
