Any Airlink news?
Hello All,
Just wondering if anybody has any news on the latest happenings at Airlink regarding crew, routes and aircraft.
Is the ATR 42 rumour still afloat?
Regards,
Tt

Read in the Business Report that SAA and Airlink will stay together till October next year!No new callsign yet still thinking it will be called LNK.
They do have a new website under construction at www.flyairlink.com they have painted a few a/c zs-nrg zs-nrk with Airlink written over the doors the tail has kept the same colors but a little bigger with a bird emblem on.(the one with airlink zimbabwe)

SAA will also include Airlink in their new central reservations system due for release next year- its a big investment and clearly indicates that Airlink are going to stay part of the family- at least till december next year- when the SAA board will review the decision (how quickly the mind changes!!). Word has it that the about turn about was due messers F and W not being able to secure a new central reservations system nor any worthwhile alliances in time for the deadline- this put airlink at risk- not surprisingly a deal was struck and everybody is mates again! well till december 06 anyway.

I don't think ATR's are on the cards. Heard tho' that more jets are coming to Link.....50 seaters so my spies tell me. Wonder which ones?
So much for painting the aeries in a new scheme, seems like a waste of good cash to me. A little too hasty!!! Oh well we'll just have to paint them again!!!!
Sorry guys no bonus this year it went into the paint tin.

THe boss has options on several Embraers still.
Rumour is that some of these will now be converted to firm orders.....................
One or two of the Jetstreams to be phased out and replaced with jets - something to do with the props going timex.
Maybe they will be turned into Frelon blades!!!!!!!!
