Air Botswana Sales and Marketing Manager, Mogolo Mokgosi, said the new routes also include flights from Kasane to Windhoek as well as from Kasane to Cape Town, as well as Maun-Cape Town and Kasane-KMIA flights.

“Kasane is a hub for a large number of lodges in the immediate areas of Caprivi (Namibia), northeastern Botswana, western Zimbabwe and southern Zambia, Maun is known as the gateway to the Okavango and the Makgadikgadi Pans,” she said. 

She added that these new routes streamline travel for business and leisure passengers, eliminating the need for connecting flights and offering a time-saving option.

Previously, travellers from Windhoek faced limited options when seeking air travel to Gaborone.

Competitive fares are planned to stimulate demand on the new route, with a detailed flight schedule expected to be released soon. 

“The new fares … are designed to stimulate demand, increase sales and provide affordable air travel, particularly within the specified new markets,” said Mokgosi.

This move coincides with the airline’s recent acquisition of three Embraer jets in June, bolstering their fleet capacity and supporting the expansion plans.

Airline CEO Lulu Rasebotsa said with Air Botswana’s expansion plans, it is likely that it will need to purchase a fourth aircraft soon. 

“The airline views the acquisition of the Embraer jets and the expansion of routes as crucial steps towards achieving financial stability and operational efficiency,” Rasebotsa said.-the brief/travel news
