In a continued commitment to redefine the Namibian travel experience, the Ohlthaver & List (O&L) Group acquired two new aircraft, elevating access to its premier O&L Leisure destinations for both Namibian and international guests. 

In addition to the Beechcraft 1900 V5-SAN (a 14-passenger twin-engine turboprop ideal for group travel) and the Cirrus SR22 V5-SGB, the newly- acquired fleet now also includes a King Air B350 V5-DAN, which is a new-generation aircraft designed for mid-sized groups (up to eight passengers) and executive charters, as well as a Cirrus SR22 V5-SLK, which is a sleek, modern aircraft crafted for private travel with personalised comfort. 

This development marks a significant step in O&L Leisure’s strategic repositioning as a premium provider of authentic, luxury travel experiences. As part of the group’s broader Vision 2029 growth strategy, these acquisitions not only enhance access to the current portfolio, but also pave the way for future expansion into other handpicked, unique locations across Namibia. The current portfolio includes the newly re-imagined Mokuti Etosha, the iconic Strand Hotel Swakopmund, the exclusive Chobe Water Villas in the Zambezi region, and the legendary Midgard Estate set in the heart of the Otjihavera Mountains just outside Windhoek. 

By offering seamless, private connections, the new fleet redefines how guests experience Namibia.  This means they can enjoy world-class service and comfort from the very outset of their journey. Whether soaring above the shimmering Etosha pans, skimming the rugged coastline or touching down amidst the lush waterways of the Zambezi region, guests will now be able to immerse themselves even more deeply in Namibia’s unparalleled natural beauty, culture and hospitality. 

 “Our vision has always been to share Namibia through our eyes – and to do so with authenticity, care and passion. These new aircraft are an extension of that vision. They enable thoughtfully-curated journeys that reveal the full richness of our country’s landscapes, cultures and heritage. More than just a means of travel, they symbolise our commitment to crafting exceptional, transformative experiences for the discerning traveller,” said Sven Thieme, O&L Group Executive Chairman and Managing Director of O&L Leisure. he added that this latest investment reinforces the group’s ambition to elevate the Namibian tourism offering to new heights, and to help bring its Vision 2029 strategy to life.
