Welcome back Air Namibia: Opening up land of the Brave
After some four years absence from the runway and apron at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA), Air Namibia is making a comeback. On June 29 2018 the Airbus A319-100 would be landing at KIA, propitiously, to a swanky new terminal with all the modcons of modern aviation.
Air Namibia took a temporary leave of our airspace just when I was preparing to leave Accra to take up residence in Windhoek as High Commissioner to Namibia. In the event, I had to make do with a rival airline, which added several hours to a journey that was direct with Air Namibia.
Doubtlessly, as soon as I settled in my post, the return of Air Namibia to Ghana became one of my baptismal diplomatic assignments. In that, I was encouraged by other diplomats who found the Windhoek-Accra route convenient for their European connections. In fact, it was the Ambassador of an EU-Member country who more or less gave me my marching orders on that when I paid her my freshman’s courtesy call.
A later meeting with my Nigerian colleague sealed it for me as he agreed that Lagos should be part of the route. With that in the mix, negotiations assumed a more determined tone!
Good-naturedly, senior Namibian officials also were forthcoming on the issue. On one occasion, when I raised it at a briefing, I was told rather endearingly that, “That is why you are here”.
The senior management of Air Namibia also kept their doors wide open to the Ghana High Commission in Windhoek as discussions and negotiations went to and fro. The new Ghanaian envoy, after my departure followed up assiduously, as well as the Head of Mission of the newly established Namibian Mission in Accra, making visa acquisition much more convenient. The Namibian Mission in Abuja, Nigeria, used to handle that. All these efforts, eventually culminating in this June-ending return.
When I arrived in Windhoek on that July 2014 morning via Johannesburg, it was to a bitingly cold reception. Though I had been forewarned to expect very low temperatures, it being winter in southern Africa, I had completely underrated the warning and so was hit hard in the face by a chill that nearly flew me back to Accra! There was no frost but the dry cold I felt was more biting than many of the winters I had experienced in freezing Europe. This was Africa and yet the temperature was telling me a different story.
But even that could not diminish the warmth of love that was beginning to envelope me as I was driven from Hosea Kutako International Airport into the city of Windhoek. Humps and humps of hills kept rolling by and the sparse vegetation allowed one to see far and wide. The vistas were hauntingly seductive and one wished it could go on forever!

Air Namibia to commence flight to Nigeria in June
The national airline of the Republic of Namibia will inaugurate its flight to Nigeria in June.
The Air Namibia’s Windhoek-Lagos-Accra service is expected to provide a direct connection between Namibia and the two West African countries of Nigeria and Ghana, the airline said on Monday.It added that the four times weekly operation on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday from Windhoek would provide smooth and convenient connections inbound and outbound to its regional flights, connecting West Africa via Windhoek to Johannesburg, Cape Town, Luanda, Harare, Lusaka, Victoria Falls, Gaborone, Walvis Bay and Durban.
According to the airline, it is partnering APG Network as its general sales and services agent in Ghana and Nigeria to provide full sales and marketing services, as well as call centre and customer care services.
“We are happy for having established this relationship with the APG Network, as through innovation and utilising their extensive experience in the field of aviation, and being a key global player in the airline distribution environment, offering outsourced services such as passenger sales, marketing and reservations; Air Namibia is positioned to make its West Africa operations a success,” the Manager, GSA and Offline Markets, Air Namibia, Ms. Juanita Klassen, said.
According to Klassen, the carrier, as the national airline of the Republic of Namibia, operates scheduled air passenger and cargo services in domestic points within Namibia; the immediate regional markets of South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Angola; and also offers a daily service connecting Namibia to Europe through Frankfurt, Germany.
She added, “Air Namibia brings to West Africa its award-winning service, which is recognised by many, having won the ‘Feather Awards’ as the best regional airline of Southern Africa at Johannesburg and Cape Town more than 10 times over the past 15 years.
“We have also been recognised by Skytrax Airline Awards as Africa’s second best regional airline in 2016 and 2017. The airline operates a fleet carefully selected to meet performance dependability and comfort.”

Air Namibia connects Ondangwa to Walvis Bay
Air Namibia commenced flights between Ondangwa and Walvis Bay on 21 November, with the ground crew and passengers showing their enthusiasm for the new service at the latter airport. Flights will operate three times weekly on the airline’s ERJ 135s. The 583-kilometre route will face no direct competition.
Air Namibia began flights between Ondangwa (OND) and Walvis Bay (WVB) on 21 November. The 583-kilometre route will be flown by the national carrier three times weekly (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays) on its fleet of 37-seat ERJ 135s. According to the airline’s social media accounts, the inaugural service carried 25 passengers, representing a load factor of 68%. No other airline currently operates on the city pairing between the northern and coastal cities in Namibia, meaning that Air Namibia is still the sole provider of domestic flights in the African nation. By introducing direct flights on this routing, it now means people can travel between the two destinations in 60 minutes, as opposed to an eight-hour drive. This route also becomes the only domestic route in Namibia that does not connect to either of the two capital airports in Windhoek.

From April onwards, all codeshare flights will be available with a Condor flight number and airline code “DE” through the Condor booking channels.
The Condor codeshare flight number will also be used on connecting Air Namibia flights within southern Africa. This will result in passengers benefitting from convenient connections to Johannesburg, Cape Town Harare and Walvis Bay. As part of the agreement, Air Namibia flight numbers with the ‘SW’ code will also be offered on many routes in the Condor route network. The codeshare routes, such as in the Caribbean, to North America or in the Mediterranean, open up a selection of many new holiday destinations and connections for Air Namibia guests.
