AIRLINK, Southern Africa’s premier airline, on Tuesday launched its scheduled direct service between Harare and Durban.
It will ply the route on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
Flights from Durban’s King Shaka International Airport depart at 10.30am, landing at 12.40pm at Harare’s Robert Mugabe Mugabe International Airport.
The return service leaves from Harare at 13.20pm, touching down in Durban at 15.35pm.
Travel time is approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes.
Said Airlink CEO and managing director, Mr Rodger Foster:
“Harare and Durban are important commercial centres and key Airlink markets. This brand-new route linking the two cities will be our third direct service to Zimbabwe’s capital, along with our flights from Johannesburg and Cape Town.
“We are certain that the new service will promote commerce and tourism between the cities and between the KwaZulu-Natal and Zimbabwe.
“Having non-stop flights on the route means greater convenience and options for travellers who want to save time and avoid connecting at Johannesburg.”
The airliner will operate one of its modern Embraer ERJ135 Regional Jets on the route.
Airlink was established in 1992 and is an independent, privately-owned, premium airline.
