Embraer ERJ 135

South African regional carrier Airlink is steadily expanding its offering as it absorbs a new batch of Embraer E195 E2s.

This week, Flight Friday focuses on Africa, investigating how each aircraft class is being utilized when compared to an equivalent pre-pandemic month.

Aftermarket spending on the world's regional jet fleet is set to decline over the next decade as the number of aircraft in the segment declines.

South Africa's Airlink has suspended flights to Nampula, Mozambique, after a local court issued a decision allowing the seizure of the airline's aircraft.

Nonstop flights between Cape Town and Maputo will launch later this month.
