FlyNamibia has announced that flights to Katima Mulilo will transition from Eros Airport to Hosea Kutako International Airport.
The shift according to the airline, will also allow for the introduction of a triangular route linking Windhoek (Hosea Kutako International Airport), Maun, Botswana, and Katima Mulilo, effective 3 July, 2024.
According to FlyNamibia Managing Director, Andre Compion, until the end of October, select flights will operate on this route on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, with the routing system designed to enhance overall connectivity within the region.
“We are excited to introduce these strategic changes to our flight operations. By transitioning our flights to Hosea Kutako International Airport and introducing enhanced connectivity between Windhoek, Maun, and Katima, we are not only improving access for travellers but also catalysing tourism growth in the Zambezi Region,” he said.
He added that following the conclusion of the triangular route in October, FlyNamibia will resume direct flights between Windhoek (Hosea Kutako International Airport) and Katima Mulilo on designated Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
The direct flight schedule will continue indefinitely, providing long-term accessibility to Katima Mulilo.
“The initiative aims to streamline passenger traffic flow to Katima Mulilo and unlock the region’s tourism potential,” he said.
FlyNamibia operates domestic routes from Eros Airport in Windhoek to Ondangwa, Katima Mulilo, Lüderitz, and Oranjemund.
