I notice that in the last year Airlink have shelved a few routes. Most recently the service between Lanseria and Cape Town, as well as the services to Plett. Why is this as I thought both would be niche markets?

I can understand Sun-Air failing with their business class only service from FALA to FACT but surely Airlink should have made a better fist of it than they did with the jungle jets. As for Plett, can't understand why this one hasn't worked either. Sure you can land much bigger a/c at FAGG but then its an hours drive to Plett.
