Meanwhile has Airlink, fast becoming South Africa’s leading airline, also announced another route, planning to connect Cape Town with Harare as of 18th of January 2021.
Said Rodger Foster, CEO of Airlink, while making the announcement: ‘Airlink is excited to be launching this important new route, which will provide convenience to business and leisure travellers, saving them precious hours transferring via Johannesburg and also limiting their exposure to potential touch-points, which is a key consideration as we adjust our travelling habits during the COVID-19 pandemic. Airlink’s unique service on the route will also support trade, commerce and tourism between the two cities and their respective markets at a time when it is desperately needed‘.
The new route will be served initially four times a week, leaving Cape Town every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
