Airlink Launches New Route Connecting Tanzania With South Africa

Airlink, the privately-owned and independent regional airline, will reconnect Tanzania with South Africa when it launches its first scheduled passenger flights between Dar es Salaam and Johannesburg on 01 December 2020.

Airlink is excited looking forward to establishing direct services – and flying its brand new colours – on this new route for us between Tanzania’s capital and Johannesburg.

The two cities enjoy special historical, significant political and economically vital commercial bonds as regional trading hubs for business and leisure travel and tourism.

Chief Executive Officer of the airline, Rodger Foster said, “We are also in the process of appointing a local general sales agent to represent us in the Tanzanian market”.

“Our services to and from Dar es Salaam will provide travelers with seamless connectivity onto  Airlink’s new direct flights linking Johannesburg with Cape Town and with Durban.  Connections are also available to Airlink’s other South African destinations, such as Port Elizabeth, East London, Bloemfontein and others”.

Airlink is rebuilding and expanding its network with the resumption and addition of services to destinations throughout the SADC region, all reachable with Airlink connections via its hub at Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport.
