About Airlink South Africa
Airlink South Africa is a privately owned, premium full-service regional airline based in Johannesburg. Founded in 1992 by Rodger Foster and Barrie Webb after the acquisition of Link Airways, the airline has grown into one of Southern Africa’s largest regional carriers, connecting major cities, smaller towns and remote destinations across the continent.
Airlink operates under its own IATA flight code, 4Z, and serves more than 45 destinations across 15 African countries, as well as Madagascar and St Helena Island. Its network links South African cities with countries including Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Angola, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, eSwatini and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The airline is particularly important for connecting smaller regional centres and tourism destinations to major hubs.
The airline’s fleet includes Embraer regional jets, including E170, E190 and newer E195-E2 aircraft. Airlink introduced its first Embraer E-Jets in 2017 and became the first South African airline to operate this aircraft family. In 2020, it ended its long-standing franchise agreement with South African Airways and rebranded simply as Airlink, allowing it to operate independently under its own brand and flight code.
Airlink is also known for operational reliability and connectivity. It has been recognised for strong on-time performance and operates more than 75,000 flights annually, carrying over 4 million passengers each year. The airline maintains interline agreements with international carriers such as Qatar Airways and Emirates, making it easier for travellers to connect from African destinations to global networks.
Career opportunities at Airlink include roles for pilots, cabin crew, aircraft maintenance engineers, ground operations staff, customer service agents, cargo handlers, sales and marketing professionals, finance staff and information-technology specialists. The airline also offers internships and graduate programmes for young South Africans interested in aviation. Airlink’s focus on regional connectivity, safety and customer service makes it a key player in Southern Africa’s aviation sector.
