Airlink announces it will introduce direct scheduled flights between Johannesburg’s Lanseria International Airport and Harare, Zimbabwe. Multiple outlets report the service starts in November and operates three times per week, providing travellers with a new non-stop connection between Gauteng’s western corridor and Zimbabwe’s capital.
The route is described as the first scheduled air service linking Lanseria with Harare. Sources characterize the launch as an expansion of Airlink’s network and note that it will give passengers an additional option for travel between South Africa and Zimbabwe without transiting via other cities.
While details such as exact flight times and aircraft are not provided in the excerpts, the common information across reports is the timing (November), the frequency (three weekly flights), the departure and arrival airports (Lanseria and Harare), and the significance for regional connectivity (the first scheduled service between Lanseria and Zimbabwe’s capital).
