Air Connect Namibia welcomes the expansion of South African
Airways' Johannesburg to Windhoek service.
The new flight reflects the growing demand for connectivity between Johannesburg and Windhoek, supporting tourism, business collaborations, and cultural exchange. With this increase in frequency, travellers will have enhanced flexibility in planning their journeys, making it easier to explore the natural beauty, rich heritage, and diverse offerings of both destinations and countries.
"The service is a positive step forward for Namibia, as we continue to pursue increased international connectivity and easy air access, fostering collaboration between our two cities and strengthens economic ties. With this new flight, we can expect to see an uptick in both inbound and outbound travel, which is essential for the development of our country’s aviation sector. With each new tourist adding N$4 200 to Namibia, we are really excited to witness strong growth in passenger numbers, which we believe will drive tourism’s contribution to the national economy, not only in monetary terms but in real tangible jobs, because tourism is everybody’s business. And we at the Namibia Airports Company are extremely privileged to be part of such positive change.” said Bisey /Uirab Air Connect Namibia Chairperson and CEO of the NAC.
Johannesburg continues to be Windhoek’s largest source market, and the expanded schedule is expected to meet strong demand while unlocking further growth for both
economies, particularly in key sectors such as aviation and tourism.
