FlyNamibia has been admitted as a new member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
“This significant milestone not only marks an extraordinary achievement for FlyNamibia but also signifies a promising future for the airline industry in Namibia and beyond. As we embark on this new chapter, we anticipate the myriad benefits that IATA membership will bring to the airline, its passengers, and the aviation industry as a whole. Together, with FlyNamibia as an IATA member, we are confident that we can soar to new heights and create a brighter, more connected, and sustainable future for air travel,” the airline said on Tuesday.
IATA is the trade association for the world’s airlines, representing some 300 airlines from more than 120 countries worldwide, or 83% of total air traffic, and helps formulate industry policy on critical aviation issues.
This comes as in July, FlyNamibia partnered with Airlink to promote its flights and services to travel agents worldwide through the Global Distribution System (GDS).
FlyNamibia currently operates domestic routes from Eros Airport in Windhoek to Ondangwa, Rundu, Katima Mulilo, Lüderitz, and Oranjemund, as well as a regional route between Hosea Kutako International Airport and Cape Town International.
FlyNamibia Safari connects travelers between Hosea Kutako International Airport and Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Twyfelfontein, Etosha – Ongava, Etosha – Mokuti, as well as from Eros Windhoek to Rundu.
