Connecting South Africa's regional communities by air.
Headquarters
Johannesburg, South Africa
Interlink Airlines was a South African regional carrier that operated scheduled and charter passenger services within South Africa and to neighboring countries. The airline focused on connecting smaller regional centers that were underserved by larger national carriers, filling an important niche in domestic aviation.
The airline operated under IATA code ID and ICAO code ITK, with the radio callsign INTERLINK. It was headquartered in South Africa and primarily served routes that linked provincial towns with major urban hubs.
Interlink Airlines faced the challenging economic environment that has historically made regional aviation in South Africa difficult to sustain, and the carrier ultimately ceased operations. It remains one of several smaller regional airlines that attempted to serve South Africa's domestic market.
