Airlink Halts Hoedspruit Flights as Limpopo Floods Cut Access

The carrier is awaiting safety clearance from authorities before resuming service.

Overview

  • All flights to and from Hoedspruit remain suspended following severe flooding in Limpopo.
  • Flooding has left key roads impassable and restricted access to Hoedspruit Airport, disrupting travel for nearby communities, private lodges and Kruger National Park visitors.
  • The halt affects multiple daily services connecting Hoedspruit with Cape Town and Johannesburg.
  • Airlink says operations will restart only after the government and Air Traffic Navigation Services declare conditions safe.
  • The airline is assisting stranded passengers with SANParks and local lodges, contacting affected customers, and sharing updates via its website, app and social media.
