Airlink to Launch New Service Between Lanseria and Harare

Airlink, Southern Africa’s premier airline will launch three-weekly flights between Johannesburg Lanseria and Harare from 15 November 2026.

Bookings are now open for flights on the route, which will be the first ever scheduled airline/service between the privately-owned airport north-west of Johannesburg and Zimbabwe’s capital.

The new service will provide an alternative convenient point-to-point connection for people wanting to travel from Lanseria International Airport. This world-class, modern facility is ideally located to serve communities and businesses on the western side of Gauteng and the North-West Province.

This new route will also be Airlink’s first scheduled Lanseria service and will be operated by an Embraer E190 aircraft which accommodates 98 passengers (6 Business Class and 92  Economy) with only window and aisle seats – there are no middle seats on any Airlink flights.  

“Johannesburg-Harare is one of the busiest routes in Southern Africa and saw demand averaging around 60,000 seats a month in 2025.   

A significant percentage of this market comprises people within Lanseria’s catchment area and Airlink is able to better serve these customers by augmenting our existing services (which operate out of O.R. Tambo), with the new Lanseria flights,“ said de Villiers Engelbrecht, Airlink CEO. 

Onboard Airlink flights, customers will be treated to complimentary meals and refreshments. Airlink’s cabin configuration provides generous leg-room.
