FlySafair, South Africa’s low-cost airline, aims to make cross-border travel between Cape Town and Windhoek more accessible and affordable, with fares for its newly launched route starting from just N$2,000.
According to FlySafair’s Chief Marketing Officer, Kirby Gordon, historically, flights between Cape Town and Windhoek were expensive, with fares ranging between N$5,000 and N$9,000. FlySafair’s budget-friendly option is expected to benefit a wide range of travelers, including families, businesspeople, and students.
“By offering competitive fares on this expansion of our network, we are helping to boost the travel industry in the southern African region. This new route reinforces our commitment to providing safe, reliable, and affordable flights for everyone. Whether it is for leisure, business, or family reunions, we aim to make traveling in South Africa and beyond more accessible than ever,” he said.
He further explained that the airline will operate two flights per week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, offering convenient travel options for both tourists and locals. The route also presents significant potential to boost tourism and business ties between Namibia and South Africa, he added.
“We are extremely excited to have this highly anticipated route operational before the summer holidays at the end of the year, offering our customers more opportunities to visit loved ones, explore the sights of Namibia and its capital, or enjoy a trip to Cape Town,” he said.
FlySafair, backed by Safair, an aviation company established in 1965, operates more than 30 Boeing 737 aircraft and plans to further expand its fleet to support its growing route network. As a leading low-cost carrier in South Africa, FlySafair has contributed to the growth of local tourism and business travel, and now aims to extend this impact to Namibia with its new route to Windhoek. The introduction of the Cape Town to Windhoek route also adds to FlySafair’s other regional destinations, including Harare and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.
