Fly Angola has inaugurated a new air route connecting Luanda, Angola, and Windhoek, Namibia, with a stopover in Benguela.
The service, launched on December 21, 2024, operates three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, enhancing connectivity between the two neighboring countries.
The flights depart from Luanda International Airport (LAD) and land at Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH) in Windhoek, with a layover at Catumbela Airport (CBT) in Benguela, a coastal town renowned for its beaches and cultural attractions.
“We warmly welcome Fly Angola to our shores. This route will strengthen the historical ties between Namibia and Angola, providing an opportunity for families, friends, and business communities to connect during the festive season and beyond. We encourage travelers to make full use of this new link,” said Bisey /Uirab, Chairperson of Air Connect Namibia and CEO of the Namibia Airports Company, welcomed the development.
The new route is expected to boost regional integration and promote tourism and business between Angola and Namibia.
Founded in 2018, Fly Angola has prioritized connecting Angola to its neighbors while highlighting the country’s diverse cultural and natural offerings, such as Luanda’s dynamic urban landscape and Benguela’s picturesque coastlines.
Air Connect Namibia, established in 2024 under the Namibia Airports Company, played a significant role in facilitating the initiative. The project has garnered support from various stakeholders, including the Namibia Tourism Board and the Namibia Chamber of Commerce and Industry, as part of efforts to improve air access to Namibia and attract international travelers.
