Multi-destination travel with one ticket from FlyNamibia and Airlink

FLYNAMIBIA AND AIRLINK LINK UP

FlyNamibia, Airlink’s franchisee partner, will begin operating new flights between Windhoek and Victoria Falls, opening the sky for round trip multi-destination travel in Southern Africa.

It is the first scheduled air service between the two destinations and lets travellers fly directly between iconic tourist locations like Cape Town to central Namibia to Victoria Falls and to Kruger National Park, all on a single ticket.

In doing so, this route, and others to follow, will reduce travel time, letting business and leisure travellers spend more time where they want to be, instead being rerouted multiple times with connections through an en route hub airport.    

Flights on the new route will commence from 4 April 2024, and will be operated by FlyNamibia, with modern and comfortable 50-seat Embraer 145 aircraft and flown under Airlink’s “4Z” flight code.

“Our partnership strategy with FlyNamibia is to maximise the opportunity to establish  Windhoek’s Hosea Kutako International Airport as a gateway to other regional destinations. The new Windhoek-Victoria Falls route is the first manifestation of this, and we expect to announce more in the coming weeks and months.  It will benefit our customers by making it more convenient to travel between the region’s main attractions. It also creates opportunities for our partners in the travel and tourism sector to offer new itineraries,” said Airlink CEO and Managing Director, Rodger Foster.

Flights on the new route will operate at these times and days of the week:
