FlyNamibia, the country’s first privately-owned scheduled passenger airline, has announced the launch of its highly-anticipated new route connecting Eros Airport in Windhoek to the picturesque coastal town of Lüderitz.
This exciting addition to FlyNamibia’s network was made possible through a new partnership with TotalEnergies EP Namibia, demonstrating once more the commitment of both companies to fostering the development of the country and enhancing connectivity and accessibility to the southwest of Namibia in a safer way.
The inaugural flight on the Eros Airport – Lüderitz route will take place on 3 July 2023, marking a significant milestone for FlyNamibia and the Namibian aviation industry. This new connection opens up a world of opportunities for Namibian citizens as well as foreign travellers, whether for business or leisure, offering seamless access to Lüderitz and its burgeoning economic potential.
“The launch of the Eros – Lüderitz route is an exciting moment for FlyNamibia and the Namibian economy,” said Andre Compion, MD of FlyNamibia. “By introducing this route, we aim to open doors to new opportunities for local businesses and provide a gateway for tourists to experience the wonders of Lüderitz.
