Qatar Airways has joined a long list of international carriers in expanding their operations in South Africa.
Qatar Airways has acquired a 25% stake in South African regional carrier Airlink as part of its ambitions to expand operations further across Africa.
“This transaction will unlock growth by providing efficiencies of scale, increasing our capacity and expanding our marketing reach. By bolstering Airlink and its business, this investment will strengthen all of the existing airline partnerships Airlink has nurtured over the years.” German Airline Lufthansa will launch a direct flight between Johannesburg and Munich in September, and seasonal flights between Cape Town and Munich will also be available in November.
“We are thrilled to introduce our new route between London and Cape Town,” said Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO of Norse Atlantic Airways.
