Wednesday, 06 August 2025 – Airlink regrets to announce the cancellation of today’s flights to and from Kimberley.
The cancellations are due to a combination of poor visibility and the Air Traffic Navigation Services’ (ATNS) suspension of instrument flight procedures for Kimberley. In addition, Kimberley’s airport can only accommodate airline flights during daylight hours as it has no night-time fire and rescue service.
Airlink will resume normal services to Kimberley as soon as the conditions allow for flights to resume safely.
Special Assistance Requests
Passengers with special requests are required to confirm their requests for assistance 72 hours before the flight, subject to availability.
Delays at ORTIA
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.

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.
