"With the introduction of this non-stop Airlink service, we’re also able to provide seamless connections at Cape Town for those customers travelling between Gaborone and numerous long-haul destinations on our various international partner airlines’ flights."
Flights will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 1 April 2025.
