It was only after a lot of consideration that the beautiful, iconic sunbird was selected to represent another familiar occupant of the sky – Airlink’s aircraft. Mirroring the airline’s philosophy best, this stunning sunbird’s behaviour symbolises how Airlink’s new tailfeathers bring freedom to southern Africa’s skies. The new look follows several developments, including the formal renaming of the company as ‘Airlink’ and signifies the airline’s transformation and new strategy as an independent, agile, responsive, and financially robust business. Adorned in magnificently bright colours, sunbirds reflect the rich colours of the regions where they are found, namely sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar. Similarly, Airlink’s network covers the same areas as an interairline service provider. In fact, today, Airlink offers the widest route network with more flight choices, more destinations, and more travel opportunities. What’s more is that the sunbird is an important pollinator in the African ecosystem. This behaviour mimics Airlink’s ability to connect business and leisure travellers at different points with unique travel destinations in widespread towns and cities. Consequently, this has a positive impact on both the local economy and travel industry. Additional similarities include the sunbird’s fast and direct flight, which echoes Airlink’s quick and direct network, from point to point, with convenient, quick turnarounds. In 2019, Airlink carried more than two million customers on over 63 000 flights. Currently, its
network includes more than 45 destinations in 12 African countries and St Helena Island. As important, especially in today’s uncertain times, is that Airlink is a resilient, privatelyowned regional airline that operates in a challenging industry – just like the sunbird species are resistant to changes in habitat. Punctual and premium Airlink is especially popular with travellers who expect airlines to go the extra mile. Priding ourselves on offering passengers various value-adds, the benefits start before they board an Airlink flight. Complimentary checked-in luggage allowance include 20kg for Economy Class, 30kg Business Class and 15kg Sporting Equipment Allowance. Passengers also have the option of an intracontinental styled business class experience on select routes and flights. Our in-flight experience includes complimentary on-board catering with a choice of beverages, and passengers can choose between a window or aisle seat, as there are no middle seats. Furthermore, Airlink has been ranked as SA’s most punctual airline, based on its 97,70% average on-time performance for the year to date, according to ACSA. On-time performance is crucial for those who rely on Airlink for business and leisure travel, including those connecting with our expanding list of long-haul partner airlines. To be classified as ‘on time’, departures and arrivals have to occur within 15 minutes of Airlink’s published schedule. This performance is a testament of Airlink’s laser focus on providing excellent, reliable service and the dedication of Airlink’s
