Airlink suspends flights to Polokwane
Airlink has suspended all flights to Polokwane with immediate effect.
The suspension of flights follows a decision by the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) to downgrade the airport for being unable to provide the minimum level of emergency services required to maintain its aerodrome licence category.
“The South African Civil Aviation Authority advised last night that with immediate effect the Polokwane airport had been de-categorized to CAT2 which is below the minimum level required for scheduled commercial air services,” says CEO Rodger Foster.

Foster says the airline will contact affected customers.
“An update will also be provided as soon as Airlink receives more information from the Polokwane airport.
“Customers holding confirmed tickets on the cancelled flights should contact their booking agent.”
