02 August 2025 - Airlink customers may experience delays today due to knock-on effects from yesterday’s ATNS system failure, which prevented some aircraft from reaching the airports where they were scheduled to begin today's services. This is being compounded by low visibility at Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport, where air and ground traffic movements are temporarily reduced as a safety precaution.
For the latest updates, please Read More on the “Flight Info” section on Airlink's website, on the FlyAirlink app, or the airport flight information boards.

Important Customer Notice: Delays expected at OR Tambo Immigration.
Airlink customers travelling through OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg are advised to allow for additional processing times at immigration points for both departing and arriving flights.
This is as a result of the new Biometric Movement Control System (BMCS) implemented by the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) and Border Management Agency (BMA) at immigration and emigration areas, which is currently experiencing delays, resulting in longer queues during peak times.
This may also affect international arrivals, baggage collection, and potentially lead to missed connecting flights.
We recommend that travellers proceed to the immigration area immediately after check in to minimise lengthy waiting times.
We apologise for any inconvenience that may be experienced.
Important Flight Notice
All international customers are urged to book one (1) single ticket with through-fares, as opposed to booking separate tickets to avoid flight delays. Please note that it is essential to read the fare rules.
