Turkish Airlines has signed a comprehensive codeshare agreement with South Africa-based Airlink to strengthen its presence on the African continent.
The agreement will take effect on August 1, 2025, and was signed at a ceremony held at Airlink’s head office in Johannesburg, with participation from senior executives from both companies.
The collaboration will significantly expand guest travel options by integrating Turkish Airlines’ global network with Airlink’s extensive domestic and regional routes across South Africa. The partnership enables seamless multi-sector travel on a single ticket, offering greater convenience and flexibility for international and regional travelers.
Under the new agreement, Turkish Airlines will place its “TK” flight code on Airlink-operated flights, allowing smooth connections from Turkish Airlines’ services into Cape Town and Johannesburg to a wide range of South African and regional destinations.
“As Turkish Airlines, we give importance to this cooperation with Airlink so as to enhance our connectivity in South Africa and the region,” said Levent Konukcu, Chief Investment & Strategy Officer, Turkish Airlines, in a press release statement. “We aim to improve our partnership to maximize the travel opportunities offered to our guests. We believe that this partnership will not only bring benefits to both carriers from a commercial perspective but also improve the cultural and tourism relations between the two countries.”
With this collaboration, Turkish Airlines will advance its strategic growth in Africa and further strengthen its regional presence while offering enhanced options for its guests.
