Episode 185. Rodger Foster, CEO/MD, Airlink. Talking partnerships, fleet, sustainability and the future

This episode is the recording of the interview I conducted on 10th November for the Future Flying Forum, an event brought to you by Simple Flying, the world's largest aviation news website, which was delivered in conjunction with the AviaDev team. Over 2 days, we took our delegates on a journey from Australia to Alaska stopping off on the way. Rodger has been a guest on the podcast before and he has been the CEO of Airlink since inception in 1992 and the airline has grown to operate a fleet of over 50 commercial aircraft. In 2020, Airlink began operating on its own 4Z code ending a 23 year franchise agreement with SAA. Today, Airlink is the second biggest airline in Africa by number of flights operated and has signed numerous codeshares and interlines over the last 12 months. Together we discuss the partnerships, fleet plans, his thoughts on sustainability and take a look into the future.
