We're scaling up Mbombela (Nelspruit) and Bloemfontein flights

We will add more flights to Mbombela (formerly Nelspruit) and Bloemfontein effective 07 August 2023.

"In response to market demand, Airlink is increasing flights between certain key destinations for local and international business and leisure travel. By scaling up Airlink's schedule on these routes we are giving customers more convenient choices and connections, which provides travellers with greater flexibility when planning their trips," explained Airlink CEO and Managing Director, Rodger Foster.

By adding an additional frequency, Airlink will operate a twice-daily return service between Cape Town and Mbombela (Nelspruit), six days a week:

Cape Town - Mbombela (Nelspruit)

AIRLINE	FLIGHT NO.	FREQUENCY	DEPART	DEPART TIME	ARRIVAL	ARRIVAL TIME
4Z	661	Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat	CPT	8:00	MQP	10:25
4Z	662	Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri, Sun	MQP	17:05	CPT	19:50

An additional service between Johannesburg and Mbombela affords customers the opportunity to choose one of up to eight return flights per day:

Johannesburg - Mbombela (Nelspruit)

AIRLINE	FLIGHT NO.	FREQUENCY	DEPART	DEPART TIME	ARRIVAL	ARRIVAL TIME
4Z	839	Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri, Sun	JNB	15:40	MQP	16:35
4Z	840	Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat	MQP	10:55	JNB	11:50

Similarly, the addition of an extra flight between Johannesburg and Bloemfontein will increase the daily departures from three to four flights during the week and from two to three flights daily over the weekend:

The additional flights to and from both Johannesburg and Bloemfontein are scheduled for efficient connections with Airlink's other domestic and regional services as well as the international long-haul flights operated by Airlink's partner airlines.

AIRLINE	FLIGHT NO.	FREQUENCY	DEPART	DEPART TIME	ARRIVAL	ARRIVAL TIME

The flights on these routes will be operated by Embraer Regional Jets.
