Come April 2026, FlyNamibia will expand its regional flights between Windhoek and Victoria Falls from three to six times a week.
Flights to Maun and Katima Mulilo will also increase to four per week. The airline said the move aims to strengthen regional connections and boost tourism and trade across Southern Africa.
According to FlyNamibia, the increased flights will give travellers more flexibility, better connection options and easier planning for tour operators and travel agencies.
FlyNamibia Cargo will continue to support business logistics by helping Namibian companies move goods quickly and efficiently across markets.
“Every route we fly contributes to Namibia’s social and economic upliftment,” said Fly Namibia chief executive officer Nerine Uys.
“Whether it’s connecting families, empowering businesses, or driving tourism growth, FlyNamibia remains dedicated to linking the people and opportunities that move Namibia forward. Together, we’re all winners for Namibia. As we expand our services and strengthen our partnerships across Southern Africa, FlyNamibia remains steadfast in our purpose: to connect communities, empower commerce, and uplift the nation through air connectivity.”
Last week, FlyNamibia hosted its annual FlyNamibia Awards in Windhoek, bringing together agents, operators, and stakeholders from the travel and tourism sector. Awards were presented under FlyNamibia, FlyNamibia Safari, and Westair Charters.
“FlyNamibia remains proud to reaffirm its commitment to connecting Namibia, and the wider region, through reliable, accessible, and growing air services for both passengers and cargo. As Namibia’s domestic and regional airline, we continue to strengthen the movement of people, goods, and ideas that uplift our nation,” the company said.
From its Windhoek base, FlyNamibia operates domestic flights linking Eros Airport with Ondangwa and Lüderitz, as well as regional routes from Hosea Kutako International Airport to Katima Mulilo, Maun, and Victoria Falls.
These routes are key to supporting tourism, trade, and community connections across Namibia and its neighbouring countries.
The Ondangwa route operates eight times per week, maintaining a strong link between the capital and northern Namibia.
The Lüderitz route will continue under current agreements until November 2025, with possible extensions to support travel to Namibia’s southern coast and the oil, gas, and mining sectors. Flights to Katima Mulilo also remain an important gateway to the Zambezi Region and to the wider regional network through Maun.
