Airlink to connect Cape Town with Gaborone.

05 August 2024, Johannesburg – Airlink, Southern Africa’s premier airline, is expanding its network to include direct Cape Town-Gaborone flights from 01 April 2025. 

Flights on the route will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays departing Cape Town International Airport at 10.50 and arriving at Gaborone’s Sir Seretse Khama International Airport at 13.00. The return service leaves Gaborone at 13.45 and lands in Cape Town at 16.00. 

“As Botswana’s capital, Gaborone is an important regional destination for business with the city being home to thriving minerals, resources, automotive and tech sector companies and it hosts the Southern African Development Community headquarters. It is also an important leisure tourism gateway to many game lodges and the Gaborone Game Reserve. Alongside Cape Town’s economic expansion, we are seeing rising demand for travel between the two cities and Airlink is ideally placed to connect them with a convenient direct service. It also enables customers travelling via Cape Town on our various international partner airlines to seamlessly connect onwards to Gaborone on a single ticket and vice versa for customers travelling from Gaborone,” said Airlink CEO and Managing Director, Rodger Foster. 

 Airlink operates the route with its modern 44-seat Embraer E140 Regional Jets on the route. Fares include a 20kg free Economy Class checked-in luggage allowance plus a 15kg sporting equipment allowance. Onboard, customers are treated to a complimentary light meal and refreshments. Our cabins are designed for comfort with generous leg room and a choice of aisle or window seats – Airlink aircraft do not have middle seats. 

 Airlink flights are scheduled to provide convenient connections with our other domestic and regional services as well as with long-haul flights provided by our constellation of global airline partners.
