Airlink will increase its scheduled flight service between South Africa and Saint Helena this autumn.
From 8 October 2022, the airline will increase to weekly flights from fortnightly, operating from Johannesburg’s OR Tambo airport.
The increase in flight services to the island comes alongside the Saint Helena government’s decision to lift all Covid-19 entry regulations from 8 August 2022.
Matt Joshua, head of Saint Helena Tourism, said: "We are delighted that weekly flights will resume to the island following the suspension during the pandemic, along with the removal of all Covid-19 entry regulations.
"Saint Helena offers the perfect getaway for the post-pandemic traveller looking to escape the crowds and we look forward to meeting the demand from travellers wanting to experience one of the UK’s oldest overseas territories and most remote inhabited islands on the planet."
