Falko Regional Aircraft Limited (Falko) has completed the delivery of four Embraer E175 aircraft on lease to South African carrier Airlink.
The first two aircraft were delivered to the airline during the fourth quarter of 2023, with the final two aircraft delivered in August and September of this year.
“The addition of these aircraft into Airlink’s fleet marks another significant step by the airline to enhance its regional connectivity and fleet capabilities across Southern Africa, and we are proud to be able to support them in their growth journey,” said Mark Hughes, chief commercial officer at Falko.
Airlink now operates Embraer E170, E175, and E190 aircraft from Falko’s managed portfolio.
Rodger Foster, CEO and managing director of Airlink commented: “The leased Embraer E175s from Falko provide us with the flexibility to deliver a consistent top-quality onboard service across a wider range of routes within our network.”
The new aircraft will support Airlink’s strategy to strengthen regional connectivity in southern and east Africa.
