Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>British Airways has announced a codeshare partnership with Airlink, improving connectivity between the UK, Europe, North America and more than 15 destinations in southern Africa.<\/p>\n

With bases in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban in South Africa, Airlink is a premium regional airline with a wide-reaching network of cities in fourteen countries, including South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Namibia.<\/p>\n

The agreement means British Airways\u2019 customers travelling, for example, from Cape Town or Johannesburg to, or transiting through, London (or vice versa) will be able to connect to their final destination on a single ticket. This will offer more choice and flexibility for those travelling from one of 18 towns and cities, such as Windhoek in Namibia and Durban in South Africa.<\/p>\n

British Airways currently flies twice daily between Johannesburg and London Heathrow with A380 aircraft, twice daily between Cape Town and London Heathrow with B777 and A350 aircraft and three times per week between Cape Town and London Gatwick with B777 aircraft.<\/p>\n

Members of British Airways\u2019 loyalty programme, the Executive Club, can earn Avios when flying on Airlink flights on a British Airways\u2019 codeshare journey. Avios is the programme\u2019s currency, which can be used as part-payment towards Reward Flights or upgrades, as well as hotel stays, car hire and more.<\/p>\n

Neil Chernoff, British Airways\u2019 Director of Network and Alliances, said: \u201cOur flights to Cape Town and Johannesburg continue to be as popular as ever with our customers, so we\u2019re pleased to be able to open up more options in the Southern African region. Our partnership with Airlink means that customers will be able to book a full journey on one ticket, allowing seamless travel all the way from London to their final destination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Airlink\u2019s CEO and Managing Director, Rodger Foster, said: \u201cThis is an important next step in our partnership with British Airways, which has a phenomenal global reach into the most important markets for our region. The marriage of our two networks will benefit both British Airways\u2019 and Airlink\u2019s customers, giving them even more choice with a wide range of itinerary options and connectivity possibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

In total, 18 destinations are available as codeshare options when travelling from Heathrow via Johannesburg and Cape Town.<\/p>\n

British Airways\u2019 transatlantic partnerships includes American Airlines, Aer Lingus, Finnair and Iberia, while its partnership with Qatar Airways connects customers from the UK to Doha and beyond. Those travelling to Japan or China can also take advantage of partnerships with Japan Airlines and China Southern.<\/p>\n
