A seasonal mid-week flight between Johannesburg and St Helena will operate from November 28 until the end of February 2024.
The new midweek Tuesday flights, which will be operated by Airlink using an Embraer E190, will complement its regular scheduled flights on Saturdays, bringing the frequency to twice weekly.
The seasonal flights will offer passengers more capacity and flexibility to travel to the island, allowing them to opt for long weekends and shorter stays. The increases to both available seats and flight frequency also means that prospective travellers have more certainty that seats will be available at their preferred times of travel.
"St Helena is a uniquely important destination in Airlink’s network and we are privileged to be able to support the island’s economy by providing the much-needed extra mid-week peak season connectivity that enables tourism, while also promoting trade and providing a vital air bridge to the world via Airlink’s main Johannesburg hub," said Rodger Foster, CEO and MD of Airlink.
