Westair Aviation has a long-standing history, having begun operations in 1967 as an aircraft maintenance facility. With a large and diverse fleet of aircraft, Westair Aviation is a leading fixed-wing and rotary-wing aviation service provider operating across the African continent.

This new partnership is an incredible opportunity for our airline to expand its reach and will be a wonderful vehicle of growth for us as a proudly Namibian company.
This new partnership with Airlink will allow us to broaden our horizons even further. Through operational collaboration, FlyNamibia and Airlink will be servicing more regional routes, including Windhoek to Johannesburg, a higher frequency of flights to Cape Town and new routes to be added to other southern African destinations.
FlyNamibia’s shareholding will continue to be majority-owned by Namibian private investors, with a minority shareholding now being held by Airlink.
This partnership with Airlink will give FlyNamibia access to routes operated by Qatar, Ethiopian Airways and United, giving our customers an enormous amount of options and services for their traveling needs. Through this new smart partnership you will be able to book your flight from Windhoek to New York with a single booking. No changing between airlines or having to book multiple flights with different operators. The possibilities are endless.
The new Fly-in Zambezi Lodge-Hopping Charter, in partnership with Gondwana Collection Namibia, will operate from July to November 2025 on a charter-only basis, providing seamless connections between lodges in Namibia’s Zambezi Region, Victoria Falls, and Maun. The aircraft will be stationed in Katima Mulilo, allowing for flexible, on-demand flights tailored to travel agents, tour operators, and private guests.
Flights will be scheduled according to client requirements, with exact departure times coordinated in advance. The service eliminates long road transfers, offering a time-efficient, comfortable, and scenic alternative for high-end safari travellers. A minimum of four passengers, with a maximum of eight passengers per flight sector is required. Flights can be booked as point-to-point transfers between lodges or as part of a custom lodge-hopping itinerary. Any other destination or mix of destinations can be quoted on request. All flights operate subject to availability and weather conditions.
