Commencing on 22 September, FlySafair will operate a twice-weekly service connecting Cape Town International Airport (CPT) to Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH) in Windhoek. 

Air Connect Namibia welcomed the introduction of the route, which will increase regional integration, making it easier for both tourists and business travellers to explore and experience the diverse cultures and business opportunities of the two Southern African destinations.

The route will not only enhance access between the Namibian capital and South Africa’s “Mother City”, but also provide consumers with increased choice when flying. 

The new route will operate on Tuesdays and Saturdays. 

Cape Town is Namibia’s second-largest international destination city based on two-way passengers, with the increased capacity on the route set to further strengthen ties between the two iconic cities. 

“We are thrilled to welcome FlySafair’s new service, which will undoubtedly bring many benefits to our tourism and business sectors. The new service will not only bolster travel between Windhoek and Cape Town, but also open opportunities for greater cultural exchange and economic collaboration,” said Bisey /Uirab, Air Connect Namibia chairperson and Namibia Airports Company (NAC) CEO.

He added, “This direct connection enhances our efforts to position Namibia as a must-visit destination for travellers from South Africa and beyond. We encourage both leisure and business visitors to take advantage of this convenient new service to discover the beauty, adventures and warm hospitality that Namibia has to offer.”  Air Connect Namibia, established in 2024 and led by the NAC, is a collaborative air service development initiative mandated to improve air access to the country.
