The St Helena Government (SHG) and South African regional airline Airlink have unveiled a new 18-month forward flight schedule to the remote South Atlantic island of St Helena, enhancing travel planning and connectivity for visitors and residents alike.
Airlink will continue to operate its weekly Saturday service between OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg and St Helena Airport (HLE) on St Helena, ensuring consistent access to the island. The airline will also maintain its monthly inter-island service between St Helena and Ascension Island, supporting essential regional connections.
To meet growing demand during the southern summer season, Airlink will introduce a seasonal Tuesday return service between Cape Town International Airport (CPT) in Cape Town and St Helena from mid-December 2026 to mid-March 2027. This additional route will make it even easier for travellers to experience the island’s unspoiled beauty and rich heritage.
While the new schedule outlines services up to 18 months ahead, flights remain bookable up to 360 days in advance, in line with Airlink’s booking system. This allows travellers, tourism operators, and local businesses to plan ahead with confidence, with clear visibility of flight frequencies and timings well into 2027.
The release of this extended schedule marks a significant step in strengthening air access to one of the world’s most unique and remote destinations, providing greater flexibility for visitors and supporting sustainable growth for St Helena’s tourism industry.
