Airlink Resumes South Africa - Lesotho Flights

Airlink, the privately-owned regional airline, will resume with daily scheduled air services between Johannesburg and Maseru from 29 March 2021. 

This follows the re-opening of Lesotho’s borders and the lifting of travel restrictions that curtailed travel between the neighboring countries while they both worked to successfully contain the spread of the Coronavirus.

“After a disruption of several weeks, Airlink is looking forward to welcoming customers onto its flights that provide vital connections supporting trade, business, tourism and family ties between South Africa and the Mountain Kingdom,” said Airlink CEO, Rodger Foster.

Our daily return flights between the two cities provide travelers with seamless connectivity with Airlink’s comprehensive network that links South African domestic and Southern African regional destinations. 

Airlink’s great value for money Economy Class fares include a 20kg free economy class checked in luggage allowance plus a 15kg sporting equipment allowance. Onboard, our customers are treated to a complimentary light meal, refreshments, generous leg room and a choice of aisle or window seat (our flights do not have middle seats).

Airlink’s intra-continental Business Class service is available on selected flights operated by our state-of-the-art Embraer E-jets, with wide seats arranged in a two plus one abreast configuration with plenty of legroom between each row. Our service on these flights includes complimentary meals and beverages, a 30kg check-in luggage allowance and priority boarding.
