From April 2015, Air Namibia will operate direct flights between Walvis Bay and Cape Town as well as Walvis Bay and Johannesburg. The two routes will initially be operated with a 37-seat Embraer ERJ 135. Air Namibia’s significant role is creating air transport linkages between Namibia and the world. This role is instrumental in the attraction of tourism and business traffic to Namibia. Hence, Air Namibia remains the best provider of air transport into and out of Namibia, as well as between key towns and cities within Namibia.
