Airlink to Launch New Service Between Cape Town and Lanseria

South Africa's Airlink will launch twice-daily flights between Cape Town and Lanseria International Airport from 4 December 2026.

The new service will provide a convenient point-to-point connection for people travelling to and from Johannesburg who want to avoid the congestion of O.R. Tambo International Airport. Lanseria, which is a world-class modern facility, is ideally located to serve communities and businesses on the western side of Gauteng and in the North West province.

“Travel options on this route have been limited, and our intention is to give passengers a comfortable and enjoyable alternative for travelling between the two regions, while also complementing our existing services to O.R. Tambo,” said Airlink CEO, de Villiers Engelbrecht.

This new route will also be Airlink's first scheduled domestic service to Lanseria. It will be operated by an Embraer E190 aircraft, which accommodates 98 passengers.

Airlink will increase these frequencies to four daily return flights with effect from 22 March 2027. An updated schedule will be published closer to the date.
