Airlink Launches Flights Between Johannesburg and Victoria Falls

Airlink will launch new direct service between Johannesburg and Victoria Falls from 15 August 2022, reconnecting the region’s main economic hub with the iconic tourism destination.

The service will operate daily using a 98-seat Embraer E-190. The service is scheduled to conveniently connect with the airline’s other services to and from Johannesburg as well as to long-haul flights provided by Airlink’s growing number of global partner airlines.

Flight 4Z 494 will depart Johannesburg at 11.30 and arrive Victoria Falls at 13.15. Flight 4Z 495 will depart Victoria Falls at 13.55 and arrive Johannesburg at 15.35. All times are local.

Customers can book and manage Airlink journeys and find information about health and safety onboard Airlink flights on the website, Airlink’s smartphone app or through travel agents.

The new route will be Airlink’s second flight to Victoria Falls, which the airline already serves from Cape Town. Airlink also provides direct flights connecting Harare with Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban and between Bulawayo and Johannesburg.   

With the recent introduction of long-haul flights from Europe directly to Victoria Falls, these services allow customers arriving on those flights to conveniently connect to South Africa.
