January 2024
As we embark on the journey of a new year, all of us at FlyNamibia wish you a joyous and prosperous 2024! May this year take you to new heights, bring you wonderful adventures, and fill your life with memorable journeys.
At FlyNamibia, we are more than an airline; we aspire to be a symbol of progress, a bridge connecting diverse cultures, and a catalyst for growth in Namibia, and across Africa. Our journey, underpinned by the ethos “We rise by lifting others,” is not just about reaching new destinations but about creating pathways for shared success and prosperity.
Our expansion plans, set to commence in April 2024, exemplify our ambition to connect the African continent like never before. We are proudly extending our wings from Windhoek to Victoria Falls International Airport in Zimbabwe, Maun International Airport in Botswana, and Luanda in Angola. This expansion is a testament to our commitment to making the African skies more accessible and bringing the world closer to the beauty and potential of our country.
In September 2023, we marked a significant milestone by becoming a member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA). This achievement is not just a recognition but a responsibility that we take seriously, ensuring that we adhere to the highest global standards in safety, security, and operational excellence.
One of our new regional routes, launched in October 2023, seamlessly connects Walvis Bay and Cape Town. This route is more than a convenience; it’s a celebration of connectivity, enabling people to explore, businesses to flourish, and cultures to intermingle.
Our strategic partnership with Airlink, a South African airline, embodies our belief in the power of collaboration. Through this partnership, we are reinforcing our presence in the region and expanding our global footprint, demonstrating that together, we can achieve greater heights. Furthermore, our integration into the Global Distribution System (GDS) through this partnership opens up a world of opportunities, allowing us to reach a wider audience and share the FlyNamibia experience with more people.
At FlyNamibia, we understand that our growth is intertwined with the growth of the communities we serve. Every flight we operate, every route we open, and every partnership we forge is a step towards a more interconnected and prosperous Africa. We are not just an airline; we are a vehicle for change, an ambassador of our nation’s aspirations, and a partner in Africa’s journey towards a brighter future.
As we soar into the new year, we remain committed to our vision of bringing people together and contributing positively to the global aviation community. We believe that in lifting others, we ourselves rise, and in doing so, we help chart a course for a world where distances diminish and dreams take flight.
Thank you for choosing to fly with us. We look forward to being a part of your travels in the year ahead, continuing to connect you with the beauty and diversity of our destinations.
Here’s to a year of new beginnings, safe travels, and skies filled with endless possibilities!
Warmest wishes,
The FlyNamibia Team
As Namibia transitions into a new chapter, we extend our deepest gratitude to outgoing President Nangolo Mbumba for his dedicated service during this time of change. Serving as Namibia’s president following the passing of the late Dr. Hage Geingob, President Mbumba has been a steady hand guiding the nation through a period of transition.
In a significant step toward improving airport security and awareness, SIGNA Aviation Training ATO, in collaboration with the Office of the Inspector General of the Namibian Police (NAMPOL), hosted an important training event focused on Human Trafficking Awareness and Illegal Wildlife Trade.
In a significant step towards enhancing border efficiency and streamlining immigration processes, the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety, and Security (MHAISS) has officially launched the online application for visa on arrival.
As the first light of dawn stretched over the Lüderitz Waterfront, we gathered at the jetty, greeted by the crisp morning air and the promise of adventure. The crew of Penguin Catamaran Tours welcomed us aboard with warm smiles, their enthusiasm setting the tone for what would be an unforgettable journey.
