With Southern Africa continuing to relax its intra-Africa travel restrictions, Airlink, the South African domestic and regional carrier, is resuming direct flights between Johannesburg in South Africa and Windhoek in Namibia from 26 October. Earlier this week, the airline commenced flights between Cape Town and Windhoek and between Johannesburg and the Namibian port city of Walvis Bay.
“We can’t wait to re-establish this important connection between South Africa’s and Namibia’s main economic hubs and enabel all-important trade, business and tourism between what are two very closely connected markets,” said Airlink CEO Rodger Foster.
The restored daily service will be operated by an Embraer E190, with the number of flights likely to increase in the coming months. The additional flights will likely be operated by the airline’s smaller Embraer ERJ135 regional aircraft.
The connection between Johannesburg and Windhoek will provide passengers with seamless links to Cape Town and Durban. It will also allow connections with the airline’s domestic South African destinations, such as Bloemfontein, East London, George, Hoedspruit, Kimberley, Mthatha, Nelspruit, Pietermaritzburg, Polokwane, Port Elizabeth, Skukuza and Upington.
