Turkish Airlines signed a comprehensive codeshare agreement with South Africa-based Airlink in an effort to increase its presence in Africa.

Agreement

This took place during a ceremony held at Airlink’s Headquarters in Johannesburg. The agreement will take effect on Aug. 1, 2025. Senior executives from both companies were present at the ceremony and during the signing of the agreement.

The collaboration integrated Turkish Airlines global network with Airlink’s domestic and regional routes across South Africa. This will give travellers more options when visiting the region, as the travelers can travel on a single ticket. This is because the partnership enables multi-sector travel on a single ticket, giving greater flexibility and convenience for international and regional travellers. Turkish Airlines will integrate its TK code on Airlink-operated flights as part of the agreement. The integration allows for seamless connections from Turkish Airlines flights arriving in Cape Town and Johannesburg to a broad network of destinations across South Africa and the region.

Deepening connections

This partnership gives Turkish Airlines ways to advance its strategic growth in Africa and also strengthens its regional presence. Levent Konukcu, Turkish Airlines’ chief investment and strategy officer, highlighted the agreement’s role in strengthening the airline’s connectivity within South Africa and across the region. Konukcu said:

“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.”

De Villiers Engelbrecht, CEO of Airlink, said the partnership with Turkish Airlines marks an important step toward strengthening ties between the two carriers. Engelbrecht said:

“The agreement is a further endorsement of Airlink’s brand, while for our respective customers, it means more convenient travel options with world-class service and easier access to destinations across our combined and extensive route networks.”
