About Eswatini Airlink

Eswatini Airlink was the national flag carrier of Eswatini (previously Swaziland).

Eswatini Airlink was founded in 1999, as a joint venture between the Swaziland Government (now the Eswatini, after the country’s name was changed) and Airlink. The airline was established to take over operations from Royal Swazi National Airways Corporation, the previous flag carrier of Eswatini.

The airline was part of the Star Alliance loyalty program, thanks to its partner airline, Airlink. This alliance extends to South African Airways, South African Express and South African Airlink, as well as the other airlines in the alliance. Eswatini Airlink operated daily scheduled passenger flights to South Africa as part of Airlink, its parent company.
