Airlink is launching direct services between Durban and Harare starting from 5 April 2022.
As reported by Airlink, the CEO and Managing Director of the airline, Rodger Foster said: ‘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 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.’
These direct flights will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. The travel time will be approximately two hours and ten minutes. Flights will depart from Durban’s King Shaka International Airport depart at 10:30 am and land at 12:40 pm at Robert Mugabe International Airport in Harare. Returning flights will leave from Harare at 1:20 pm, touching down in Durban at 3:35 pm.
The new Embraer ERJ135 Regional Jet will be used on the route. Tickets include economy class checked-in luggage of 20kg, plus an additional 15kg for sporting equipment. Customers will also be treated to a complimentary light meal and refreshments onboard the aircraft.
