It is also rapidly expanding as a major industrial, transport and logistics node for mining, manufacturing and trade in the sub-region. Our expanded service enables customers to connect at our O.R. Tambo International Airport hub with our other domestic and regional services as well as long-haul flights provided by our global airline partners,” said de Villiers Engelbrecht, Airlink’s CEO.


From 30 March 2026, Airlink’s expanded schedule will see flights operating between Johannesburg (JNB) and Ndola (NLA) on the following days and times:
