𝟭𝟲 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 - Hoedspruit Flights Resume

Airlink has this morning resumed flights to and from Hoedspruit in Limpopo. However, this is subject to the local weather and conditions on the ground remaining favourable for flights. For updates on the status of flights, please check the Flight Info section on the website, Mobile App or contact your travel agent.

𝟭𝟰 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 - 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 Johannesburg’s 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 Airlink’s app, social media, and airport information screens.

Zimbabwe Immigration Update

Passengers traveling to Zimbabwe are now required to complete arrival forms online before departure, as paper forms are no longer in use. While iPads are provided at immigration in Zimbabwe for this purpose, completing the form on arrival may result in delays. To ensure a smoother and quicker journey through immigration, we recommend completing your form in advance by going to https://evisa.gov.zw/app/index.html

Special Assistance Requests

Passengers with special requests are required to confirm their requests for assistance 72 hours before the flight, subject to availability.

Book a Single Through-Fare Ticket to Avoid Delays

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.

Airlink will operate its comfortable and efficient Embraer regional jet aircraft on the route.
