Flights between Johannesburg and St Helena Airport
Story 2
Airlink has resumed flights between Johannesburg and St Helena following the reopening of St Helena Airport.
Flights had been suspended earlier this month after a safety assessment downgraded the airport, leaving passengers stranded for weeks.
The airport has now completed repairs and passed safety tests by Air Safety Support International, allowing travel to resume.
Priority on the resumed flights is given to passengers affected by the closure, while bookings for later flights will open in the coming weeks.
