Namibia flyafrica finally gets the nod

FLYAFRICA will officially launch its second airline – Namibia flyafrica – on September 2. The new airline plans to offer low fares between Johannesburg and Windhoek, with one-way tickets starting at R299 per person, excluding taxes. Initially planned to start operations in March this year, Namibia flyafrica was forced to delay flights due to legal complications with another carrier. Such delays saw flyafrica refund over R5 million to passengers who had booked early. Namibia flyafrica ceo, Clifford Strydom, says: “We have been frustrated and angered that our airline has been dragged through court simply to stop travellers from saving money.” Clifford added that the competitor airline “now has real competition”. Initially, Namibia flyafrica will offer three weekly flights from Windhoek to Johannesburg.
