The resumption of flights is due to the reopening of Richards Bay Airport, which has been closed since 2020 due to lockdown-imposed travel restrictions.
uMhlathuze Municipality announced in September 2021 that preparations were underway to reopen the airport. The airport was operating three flights a day before the pandemic.
‘We are ready to welcome Richards Bay customers back on board our flights and help reignite growth and economic activity in the area,’ said Airlink CEO and MD, Rodger Foster.
The route will once again connect Richards Bay with Airlink’s network of domestic and regional destinations.
