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.

Welcome to the future
Airlink will add 10 new Embraer E195-E2 twinengine passenger aircraft, augmenting its current 67-strong fleet. The delivery of the new aircraft will be completed in 2027.
The Embraer E195-E2 seats up to 136 passengers in a two-by-two all Economy Class cabin layout, giving Airlink additional capacity to enhance competitiveness on high-density routes, and additional range that will create opportunities to open new routes serving more destinations across sub-Saharan Africa.
Airlink will also derive additional savings from the high degree of operating, maintenance, training and equipment commonality between its existing E-Jets and the new E2s, including similar flight decks, operating procedures and handling.
