This follows the lifting of travel restrictions that previously curtailed travel between the neighbouring countries while they both worked to successfully contain the spread of the coronavirus.

"Airlink is excited to be launching this important new route, which will provide convenience to business and leisure travellers, saving them precious hours transferring via Johannesburg and also limiting their exposure to potential touch-points, which is a key consideration as we adjust our travelling habits during the Covid-19 pandemic.

"Airlink’s unique service on the route will also support trade, commerce and tourism between the two cities and their respective markets at a time when it is desperately needed," said Rodger Foster, Airlink CEO.

North-bound flights will depart from Cape Town during the mid-morning, with the south-bound flight leaving Harare in the mid-afternoon. The schedule provides travellers with seamless connectivity with Airlink’s full-service flights linking Cape Town with other South African destinations.
