Airlink says it will resume scheduled air services providing vital air connectivity between Johannesburg and the iron ore mining centre of Sishen, Northern Cape, from February 15.
“Airlink recognises the strategically important role that Sishen plays in our economy both as a mining town and sustaining jobs in the Northern Cape province, but also in generating valuable foreign revenue for South Africa through exports of iron ore. We look forward to resuming our role in supporting Sishen and its community. We will commence with four return flights a week and we will add frequencies as demand on the route picks up,” said Airlink ceo and md, Rodger Foster.
