Regional airline, Airlink, and Emirates have agreed to expand their existing partnership into a unilateral codeshare agreement across Airlink’s network of more than 40 domestic and regional destinations across 12 African countries.

This codeshare will augment the long-standing partnership that Emirates has with SAA, according to a press release. It will especially benefit inbound tourists by giving them a number of simpler, seamless options for travel in the region.

The move comes as Emirates resumes its flights to South Africa and ramps up its operations via its gateways Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. The connectivity provided by the new codeshare between Emirates and Airlink will offer competitive fares, combined ticketing, and seamless baggage transfers when connecting between the two airlines.
