Air Connect Namibia has announced a delay in Air Botswana’s planned launch of connecting flights between Gaborone and Windhoek.
Air Botswana had originally planned to commence new flights between Maun, Gaborone, Kasane, and Windhoek as of 1 October 2024.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, the route launch has been delayed, with a new suitable date to be communicated. We offer our unreserved apologies to the public for the delay in launching the route between Gaborone and Windhoek,” said Air Connect Namibia Chairperson and CEO of the Namibia Airports Company (NAC), Bisey /Uirab.
He, however, confirmed that FlySafair will commence operating flights connecting Cape Town International Airport (CPT) in Cape Town to Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH) in Windhoek from the 22nd of October 2024, with twice-weekly flights.
“The route will not only enhance access between the Namibian capital and South Africa’s ‘Mother City’ but also provide consumers with increased choice when flying. The new route will operate on Tuesdays and Saturdays,” /Uirab said.
The Air Connect Namibia Chairperson and CEO of the Namibia Airports Company (NAC) also stated that South African Airways (SAA) is on course to add a third daily frequency between Johannesburg and Windhoek on 27 October 2024.
“The new frequency, serviced by SAA’s modern A320 fleet, will begin on October 27, 2024, offering more flexibility and convenience for business and leisure travelers,” he said.
