JUST IN: Air Botswana heads to Namibia

The introduction of new routes by Air Botswana to South Africa is expected to significantly boost the travel industry, particularly for airlines operating in the region, including Namibia.

With the new routes connecting Kasane to Cape Town, Maun to Cape Town, Kasane to KMIA (Kruger), and Kasane to Windhoek, the airline is poised to enhance connectivity and provide more travel options for passengers.

According to Travel News, the airline will be adding three new 50-seater Embraer jets to its fleet. Thus, passengers can anticipate the addition and reinstating of routes to the network. This is aimed at connecting Botswana to more destinations in neighbouring countries.

Air Botswana also announced the reinstatement of routes that were halted by the Covid-19 pandemic. These include flights from Kasane to Johannesburg, Maun to Johannesburg, and Francistown to Johannesburg.

Although these flights are expected to be available soon, no flight schedule is available yet.

Mogolo Mokgosi, sales and marketing manager for Air Botswana, shared that the airline has new fares that are designed to stimulate demand, increase sales and provide affordable air travel, particularly within new markets.
