Airlink has launched a second daily flight between Walvis Bay and Johannesburg, with the new service starting on 4 July 2025.
The additional frequency offers travellers more flexibility between Namibia’s coast and South Africa’s economic hub, supporting both tourism and business travel, and is expected to benefit key sectors including logistics, port operations and energy.
The updated schedule sees two flights a day in both directions. From Johannesburg, Flight 4Z141 departs at 10:20 and Flight 4Z143 at 14:05. From Walvis Bay, Flight 4Z142 departs at 13:40 and Flight 4Z144 at 17:25.
“This new Airlink expansion offers travellers improved air access to Walvis Bay and Swakopmund. It is a strategic link that reinforces Walvis Bay’s role as a Southern African trade, investment and tourism hub,” said Bisey /Uirab, CEO of the Namibia Airports Company and spokesperson for Air Connect Namibia.
He added that the expansion reflects strong collaboration between the public and private sectors and highlights what joint efforts can achieve in strengthening Namibia’s air connectivity.
Walvis Bay serves as a gateway to some of Namibia’s top tourist destinations, including Swakopmund, the Namib Desert and the Namib-Naukluft National Park.
Air Connect Namibia, launched in 2024, is a national air service development programme led by the Namibia Airports Company. It works in partnership with the Gondwana Collection, Namibia Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board, Namibia Tourism Board, Walvis Bay Corridor Group and the City of Windhoek. The initiative supports airlines operating in and out of Namibia’s international airports.
