Important Customer Notice: Delays expected at OR Tambo Immigration.
Airlink customers travelling through OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg are advised to allow for additional processing times at immigration points for both departing and arriving flights.
This is as a result of the new Biometric Movement Control System (BMCS) implemented by the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) and Border Management Agency (BMA) at immigration and emigration areas, which is currently experiencing delays, resulting in longer queues during peak times.
This may also affect international arrivals, baggage collection, and potentially lead to missed connecting flights.
We recommend that travellers proceed to the immigration area immediately after check in to minimise lengthy waiting times.
We apologise for any inconvenience that may be experienced.
Special Assistance Requests
Passengers with special requests are required to confirm their requests for assistance 72 hours before the flight, subject to availability.
Important Flight Notice
All international customers are urged to book one (1) single ticket with through-fares, as opposed to booking separate tickets to avoid flight delays. Please note that it is essential to read the fare rules.
Important Payment Notification
Effective Tuesday 05 March 2024, Airlink will be accepting USD card sales in Malawi. All Visa, Mastercard, and AMEX cards are now active for customer and agent sales for all tickets booked and sold within Malawi.
