Qatar Air Yanunua Hisa 25% Za South African Air Link

[Huihui2]

Qatar Airways has acquired a 25% equity stake in South African airline Airlink, one of Africa’s largest carriers.

The deal, which was signed on August 20, 2024, in Doha, builds upon years of collaboration between the two airlines, which already codeshare some of their flights.

After this equity investment, the two airlines are expected to strengthen their partnership, enhancing the connectivity between their respective networks, cooperating in the commercial sphere and linking their respective loyalty programs.

As of August 2024, Airlink operates an all-Embraer fleet of more than 60 aircraft, which comprise pretty much all types of commercial jet made by the Brazilian manufacturer, from 37-seaters ERJ-135 to the E-195, which can carry more than 100 passengers.

The Qatari flag carrier will also gain two seats on the board of Airlink, although it will remain a minority, non-controlling shareholder, explained Airlink CEO, Rodger Foster during an interview with a South African news network shortly after the signing ceremony.

With this move, Qatar Airways also highlighted its commitment to the African market, a continent where it already flies to 29 destinations. It is expected that the Airlink tie-up will contribute to boosting links between the Doha hub and additional markets in South and East Africa, where Airlink is strong.

Airlink CEO Rodger Foster: “There needs to be some rationalization” in African aviation

AeroTime’s Africa Correspondent Michael Jonga spoke with Airlink’s Rodger Foster during AviaDev 2024, a conference dedicated to the present and future of the African commercial aviation industry, which took place in Windhoek, Namibia, in June 2024.

In the interview Foster highlighted the need for more consolidation in the African aviation industry and ruled out any expansion in the long-haul market in the foreseeable future. The airline executive explained that Airlink is providing global reach through its alliances with global carriers and was focused on providing more frequencies in the markets where it already has a presence. This way, Foster said, it is possible to offer much better connectivity.

No better airline in Southern Africa than Airlink, with 61 Embraer jets from E140's to E195's, serving 51 destinations and no better airline CEO in Africa than Roger Foster!

Well done Roger! now breakout and go beyond Southern Africa, too many bad airlines in Africa means many more opportunities!

Hebu tufafanulie kidogo hapo iliposemwa Qattar itapata viti viwili tu kweny airlink na watakuwa ni washirika ambao hawatokuwa na nguvu za maamuzi katika Airlink.
Qattar Airways itafaidika na nini hapo.

Sasa hapo ungesikia Qatar airline wamenunua 25% ya ATCL ungesikia matusi, Mama anauza kwa waarabu, wanauza ndege zetu muhimu tungesikia kelele za wale wazee wa trend, Hawajui mtu mpaka kaja kuwekeza anajuwa kuna fursa na anataka kuweka pesa zake ili waboreshe biashara. Nadhani kuna haja kubwa ya kuuza share za SGR au kutafuta private operator ufanisi utakuwa juu sana.

Mkuu wewe una akili sana. Umefungua code ya thread yangu. Hilo ndiyo kusudio langu kuonyesha kuwa biashara haina siasa, dini, rangi wala kabila.

Kama Waarabu wananunua investments za Uingereza (Manchester City, Newcastle), Ufaransa (PSG) na sasa Airlink ya SA, wewe Tanzania una uchumi gani usinunuliwe na DP WORLD

Ingekuwa atc imenunuliwa kesho kuna baraza fulani lingekuja na waraka mzito sana, hii nchi yetu ina matatizo mengi sana na tatizo kubwa ni vichwa vyetu wala sio katiba kama wanasiasa wanavyowaaminisha watu

Hizi ni business models ambazo zimeonekana kuwa very successful. Serikali zote duniani kuendesha biashara ni kazi sana kutokana na bureaucracy..

Lakini hapa Tanzania kila Rais Samia akitaka kuongeza tija kwa privatisation unakuta mijitu inapinga. Mpaka na yule Padri Charles Kitima wa TEC, ameacha kazi ya kusimamia wanakondoo wake amehamia siasa za kupinga Serikali
