Airlink adds twice-daily Cape Town-Lanseria flights from December
Airlink will launch twice-daily flights between Cape Town and Lanseria International Airport from December 4, offering travellers an alternative to flying via O. R. Tambo International Airport.
Airlink plans to introduce twice-daily flights between Cape Town and Lanseria International Airport starting December 4, 2026. This new service aims to provide an alternative to passengers traveling between Johannesburg and the surrounding areas, avoiding the congestion at O.R. Tambo International Airport. Lanseria, situated to serve communities and businesses in western Gauteng and the North West province, will be Airlink's first scheduled domestic route.
CEO de Villiers Engelbrecht stated that the airline seeks to offer passengers a comfortable and enjoyable alternative while complementing their existing services to O.R. Tambo. The new flights will be operated with Embraer E190 aircraft, seating 98 passengers with no middle seats. Initially, the route will run as two daily return flights, with plans to increase frequency to four daily flights by March 22, 2027.
