The Rumble in The Jungle (Part 2) - Airlink Steps Into The Ring At Kinshahsa

04 October 2024 – Airlink, Southern Africa’s premier airline, will ramp up air services between South Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo with the launch of Johannesburg - Kinshasa flights from 28 March 2025.

 Airlink’s new service will operate three times a week with modern 98-seat Embraer E190 twin-engined aircraft.

 “The D.R. Congo is a significant market for Airlink. We first stepped into the ring in 2020 with flights to Lubumbashi and now we are ready to follow through by adding Kinshasa to our formidable regional network. This will give customers on the route far greater reach and travel options than they currently enjoy. Kinshasa is a regional heavyweight. Besides serving as the country’s political and economic capital, it is Africa’s most populous city with over seventeen million inhabitants. With Airlink’s combination of schedule, connections and great service we expect to have a knock-out response,” said Airlink CEO and Managing Director, Rodger Foster.

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

 Airlink’s comfortable and efficient 98-seat Embraer E190 jetliners will operate on the route on these days and at these times: 

JNB - FIH - Flight number 4Z010 - Wed, Fri, Sun - departing at 20h30 and arriving at 23h40.

FHI - JNB - Flight number 4Z011 - Mon, Thurs, Sat - departing at 00h25 and arriving at 5h30.
