AAirlink will launch a limited scheduled domestic air service from Monday 8th June, with flights on the Johannesburg-Cape Town and Johannesburg-Durban trunk routes, using 98-seat Embraer E190 regional jets.
This follows the implementation of South Africa’s COVID-19 “Level 3” restrictions, which permits a three-phase resumption of domestic flights, based on the following:
- Phase 1, which came into effect this morning and permits flights between
Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. - Phase 2 will see some of the inland airports brought on-stream once the system has
been stress-tested and proven. - Phase 3 will enable services to the other coastal and inland cities.
No dates have been set for Phases 2 and 3. The entire phase-in is dependent on sufficient capacity and support by Port Health.
