South Africa Airlink will offer scheduled commercial air services to St Helena when it starts flights between South Africa and the island later this year.
This follows a period of contractual negotiations between St Helena government and the airline.
Initially Airlink is expected to offer a weekly Saturday service to-and-from South Africa to St Helena using the new Embraer E190-100IGW ETOPS certified aircraft that has already undertaken a number of very successful test flights to the island.
