Airlink, Southern Africa’s premier airline, is fine-tuning its Johannesburg- Nairobi schedule to provide optimal customer convenience from late March 2026.
Airlink will introduce a daily early morning south-bound service from Nairobi to Johannesburg, ensuring travellers arrive at the start of the working day and also in time for the morning wave of onward connections from Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport.
The daily north-bound flight will depart just after lunchtime, accommodating customers arriving at Airlink’s Johannesburg hub during the mid-morning and connecting onwards to Nairobi.
“With our expanded fleet we’re able to adjust our Nairobi schedule to better serve the needs of business and leisure customers who prioritise convenience and a great choice of connections at both ends of the route. Nairobi is a key gateway to Kenya and the all-important East African market. Similarly, through Airlink’s Johannesburg hub, customers can connect with our other domestic and regional services as well as long-haul flights provided by our global airline partners,” said de Villiers Engelbrecht, Airlink’s CEO.
From 28 March 2026, Airlink’s Johannesburg (JNB) to Nairobi (NBO) flights will operate on the following days and times:
| Flight No | Weekday | Aircraft | Dep | Time | Arr | Time |
| 4Z 070 | Daily | E190 | JNB | 13.30 | NBO | 18.30 |
Times shown are local for departure and arrival.
Similarly, from 29 March 2026, Airlink’s expanded Nairobi to Johannesburg services will operate as follows:
| Flight No | Weekday | Aircraft | Dep | Time | Arr | Time |
| 4Z 071 | Daily | E190 | NBO | 06.30 | JNB | 09.40 |
Times shown are local for departure and arrival.
