Codeshare between Turkish Airlines and Airlink
Turkish Airlines, Turkey's flag carrier, is expanding its network on the African continent thanks to a new codeshare agreement with Airlink, a Johannesburg-based carrier and one of the leading regional operators in Southern Africa. The partnership will come into force on 1 August 2025, following the official signing at Airlink's headquarters in South Africa, in the presence of the top management of the two companies.
Under the agreement, Turkish Airlines will place its "TK" code on numerous flights operated by Airlink, thus offering immediate and coordinated connections from Cape Town and Johannesburg to an extensive network of South African and continental destinations. Passengers will benefit from a seamless travel experience, with the ability to book the entire itinerary on a single ticket, simplifying connections and procedures.
This collaboration substantially strengthens Turkish Airlines' presence on the African continent, improving accessibility to expanding markets and increasing the options available to travelers departing from Turkey and around the world.
