Update: Johannesburg - Maseru Flights Resume Tomorrow
06 November 2025 – Airlink’s daily flights between Johannesburg and Maseru will resume tomorrow morning (Fri 07 Nov 2025).
This follows confirmation by the Lesotho authorities that suitable fire and rescue equipment has been sourced for Moshoeshoe I International Airport, which will enable it to once again accommodate airline flights.
Airlink sincerely regrets the inconvenience caused to our customers today. However the safety and well-being of our passengers, crew and aircraft are our primary operational consideration and we were obliged to suspend flights on the route while Maseru’s airport operator secured suitable replacement fire engines for its own that had become unserviceable.
Airlink operates three return flights a day on the route at these times:
| Flight No. | Route | Departure | Arrival |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4Z 050 | Johannesburg - Maseru | 06:25 | 07:25 |
