Airlink fine-tunes Nairobi schedule for best customer convenience

26 November 2025 – Airlink, Southern Africa’s premier airline, is fine-tuning its Johannesburg- Nairobi schedule to provide optimal customer convenience from late March 2026.

 Airlink will introduce a daily early morning south-bound service from Nairobi to Johannesburg, ensuring travellers arrive at the start of the working day and also in time for the morning wave of onward connections from Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport. 

 The daily north-bound flight will depart just after lunchtime, accommodating customers arriving at Airlink’s Johannesburg hub during the mid-morning and connecting onwards to Nairobi.

 “With our expanded fleet we’re able to adjust our Nairobi schedule to better serve the needs of business and leisure customers who prioritise convenience and a great choice of connections at both ends of the route. Nairobi is a key gateway to Kenya and the all important East African market. Similarly, through Airlink’s Johannesburg hub, customers can connect with our other domestic and regional services as well as long-haul flights provided by our global airline partners,” said de Villiers Engelbrecht, Airlink’s CEO.

 From 28 March 2026, Airlink’s Johannesburg (JNB) to Nairobi (NBO) flights will operate on the following days and times:

Flight: 4Z070  on an E190 will depart JNB 13h30 to NBO daily - arriving at 18h30.

Similarly, from 29 March 2026, Airlink’s expanded Nairobi to Johannesburg services will operate as follows:

Flight: 4Z071 on an E190 will depart NBO 6h30 to JNB daily - arriving at 9h30.
