Airlink will launch twice-daily flights between Cape Town and Lanseria International Airport from December 4.
Flights will depart Lanseria at 09h10 and 13h00, arriving in Cape Town at 11h35 and 15h25, respectively. Return flights will depart Cape Town at 09h20 and 13h30, arriving at Lanseria at 11h35 and 15h45.
Airlink will increase the service to four daily return flights from March 22, 2027, with an updated schedule to be published closer to the date.
The airline said the new service would provide a convenient connection for travellers to and from Johannesburg who want to avoid OR Tambo International Airport.
“Travel options on this route have been limited, and our intention is to give passengers a comfortable and enjoyable alternative for travelling between the two regions, while also complementing our existing services to OR Tambo,” said Airlink CEO, de Villiers Engelbrecht.
The route will also be Airlink's first scheduled domestic service from Lanseria and will be operated by a 98-seat Embraer E190.
In August, Airlink announced its first scheduled service from Lanseria, with three weekly flights to Harare starting on November 15.
