Hospitality company O&L Leisure has welcomed the planned launch of Discover Airlines’ new direct route between Munich and Windhoek, set to commence on 1 April 2025.
The new service is expected to enhance travel accessibility, making it easier for both tourists and business travellers to explore Namibia.
The airline will operate the route three times a week, with a travel time of 9 hours and 30 minutes. It will complement the existing daily Frankfurt-Windhoek connection, providing seamless travel options for visitors eager to experience Namibia’s diverse attractions.
“We are ecstatic about this direct route from Munich, which will provide European travellers with easier access to Namibia and, in turn, to the extraordinary experiences we offer at O&L Leisure,” said Sven Thieme, Managing Director of O&L Leisure and Executive Chairman of the Ohlthaver & List (O&L) Group.
O&L Leisure has welcomed the new connection as an opportunity to further position Namibia as a premier travel destination. “Namibia is a country that speaks to the soul, and with this new connection, we can welcome even more guests who wish to ‘see Namibia through our eyes’ – a land of boundless horizons, warm people, and unforgettable adventures,” Thieme added.
The route will be operated by Discover Airlines, a member of the Lufthansa Group, using the Airbus A330 fleet. The airline will offer Economy, Premium Economy, and Business Class options, with fares starting at €689.
To further promote travel to Namibia, O&L Leisure, in collaboration with Noble Kommunikation in Europe and leading German tour operator DerTour, hosted an exclusive webinar titled “Experience Namibia with Discover Airlines, DerTour and O&L Leisure” on 20 March 2025.
The event according to the company, provided insights into the seamless travel experience and showcased the many reasons why Namibia should be a top destination for travellers.
O&L Leisure is part of the Ohlthaver & List (O&L) Group, Namibia’s largest privately held business enterprise.
The company operates Mokuti Etosha, located at the gateway to the Etosha National Park, and the Strand Hotel in Swakopmund.
