FlyNamibia and Airlink announce new partnership
FlyNamibia is excited to announce that, as of September 2022, we have partnered with southern Africa’s largest private airline, Airlink.
This new partnership is an incredible opportunity for our airline to expand its reach and will be a wonderful vehicle of growth for us as a proudly Namibian company.
Rodger Foster, CEO of Airlink, and Andrè Compion, MD of FlyNamibia
FlyNamibia, under its previous brand FlyWestair, was the first private airline to be granted scheduled passenger airline status in Namibia. We have been operational since June 2019 and have expanded our network of flights to include domestic routes from Eros Airport in Windhoek to Ondangwa, Rundu, Katima Mulilo and Oranjemund, as well as a regional route from Hosea Kutako International to Cape Town International.
This new partnership with Airlink will allow us to broaden our horizons even further. Through operational collaboration, FlyNamibia and Airlink will be servicing more regional routes, including Windhoek to Johannesburg, a higher frequency of flights to Cape Town and new routes to be added to other southern African destinations.

FlyNamibia’s shareholding will continue to be majority-owned by Namibian private investors, with a minority shareholding now being held by Airlink.
This partnership with Airlink will give FlyNamibia access to routes operated by Qatar, Ethiopian Airlines, United and most of the major international carriers, giving our customers an enormous amount of options and services for their traveling needs. Through this new smart partnership you will be able to book your flight from Windhoek to New York with a single booking. No changing between airlines or having to book multiple flights with different operators. The possibilities are endless.

Our priorities at FlyNamibia are firmly focused on creating the best possible experience for our customers and having a positive impact on our country. This new partnership, and the tremendous growth and potential that will stem from it, will certainly support these goals. Our ethos is based on the concept of Ubuntu. One of the philosophies within this school of thought is that “if you want to go far, go together.”
We are proud to partner with a fellow private African airline and we are sure that together we will go very far. We’re excited to take you with us.
