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.

Jambo! Airlink Adds Nairobi Night Flights
02 December 2024, Johannesburg – Airlink, Southern Africa’s premier airline, will add three weekly night flights to its Johannesburg-Nairobi service from 30 March 2025.
The extra flights provide greater choices for business and leisure travellers flying between the two cities and bolster Airlink’s daily service which it launched last year, when it became the first private sector airline to compete on the route.
Airlink’s flight schedule is designed to provide convenient connections, through its Johannesburg hub, with its domestic and regional services as well as with long-haul flights provided by its constellation of global airline partners.
“Kenya is an important market, and the route provides a vital connection between the two major hubs, stimulating bilateral and inter-regional travel, trade and economic activity. Airlink’s competitive and convenient flights will promote tourism in both markets,” explained Airlink CEO and Managing Director, Rodger Foster.
Airlink’s comfortable and efficient 98-seat Embraer E190 jetliners will operate the additional flights on these days and at these times:
Flight No. | Weekday | Aircraft | Dep. | Time | Arr. | Time |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
4Z 07 | 3,5,7 | E190 | JHB | 2030 | NBO | 0130 |
4Z 073 | 1,4,6 | E190 | NBO | 0215 | JHB | 0525 |
* From 30 March 2025 - times shown are local at the points of departure and arrival.
