Qatar Airways has acquired a 25% stake in the privately owned South African carrier Airlink.
The announcement was made Tuesday (Aug. 20).
No financial details of the deal were immediately disclosed.
Airlink flies to more than 45 destinations in southern and East Africa. The deal will enhance an existing code-share agreement between the airlines, they said.
