Investec provides two-part facility for Airlink
Our role
Airlink is one of the key strategic clients of Investec. We provided two facilities to Airlink; the first was for the purchase of an Embraer E190 simulator used for pilot training, while the second facility was to refinance its acquisition of a 2011 year of build Embraer E190-100LR aircraft to be used in Airlink’s operations. The Embraer E190 simulator was Airlink’s second simulator purchase and a further investment into growing the training capabilities of the airline domestically. The Embraer E190 aircraft was Airlink's first aircraft acquisition since the end of the Covid-19 pandemic.
