๐ญ๐ฐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฒ - Hoedspruit Flights Affected by Floods
Airlink has suspended all flights to and from Hoedspruit in Limpopo due to severe floods, which have left many roads impassable and restricted access to the airport, which serves communities in the area as well as the nearby Kruger National Park and surrounding lodges and resorts. Flights will resume as soon as the relevant authorities declare it safe for the airport to resume operations. We are in constant liaison with local stakeholders, including SANParks and the various private lodges in the area, to assist passengers who are stranded at those destinations. Customers who are booked to fly to or from Hoedspruit this week will be updated as the situation evolves.
Service Disruption Notice: Flight Delays
Airlink advises customers that flights this afternoon and evening are delayed due to air traffic control constraints at Johannesburgโs O.R. Tambo International Airport. The disruptions are caused by ATNS staffing shortages and the suspension or expiry of certain instrument flight procedures. These issues have led to departure delays, airspace restrictions, and some flight diversions, impacting the overall schedule. Airlink is working to recover operations and minimise delays. Updates will be shared via Airlinkโs app, social media, and airport information screens.
