Three weekly night-time return flights will operate between Johannesburg and Nairobi, while additional flights will be provided in the morning and the afternoon, to Lusaka.
“The additional Nairobi and Lusaka flights are scheduled to provide business and leisure travellers with greater choices and convenient connections, through Airlink’s Johannesburg hub, with our other domestic and regional services as well as long-haul flights provided by our global airline partners,” said Rodger Foster, Airlink’s CEO and Managing Director.
