Airlink: CEO of South Africa's Airlink to step down after 33 years at the helm

Johannesburg-based Airlink has announced it will undergo a change of leadership in 2025. The revelation comes following the decision by its current CEO and Managing Director, Rodger Foster, to step down at the end of March 2025 after almost 33 years at the company’s helm – the carrier’s entire history. Airlink’s current Chief Financial Officer, de Villiers Engelbrecht, will take over from Foster as the company’s new CEO with effect from April 1, 2025. Foster will remain a shareholder in the airline and will continue serving as a non-executive director.
