Airlink Busiest Airports
Airlink doesn't operate a traditional hub-and-spoke network. These are the airports where 4Z has the most flights. You fly direct between cities rather than connecting through a central hub.
JNBAirlink Fleet & Aircraft Types
8 aircraft types appear on 4Z routes. This includes aircraft operated by partner airlines, not just Airlink metal.
Airlink Operating Partners
Not every flight with a 4Z number is actually Airlink. These partner airlines operate routes under the 4Z code. Your booking and flight number say 4Z, but the plane and crew belong to one of these carriers.
On shorter routes from the hubs, this usually means a regional jet. Smaller plane, 2-2 seating, less overhead bin space. Check the aircraft code when you book. If it says E175, CRJ, or ATR, that's a partner regional jet.
