Namibia - South Africa: FlyWestair returns, Airlink strengthens
FlyWestair will relaunch its Windhoek - Cape Town route on October 23, and open a route between Windhoek and Johannesburg on November 3. The South African carrier Airlink will also connect the two cities in the opposite direction from October 26, in addition to the Cape Town-Windhoek and Johannesburg-Walvis Bay services.
FlyWestair is back in South Africa. From October 23, the private Namibian company will offer 2 weekly flights (Monday and Friday) from Windhoek, and to Cape Town. From November 3, the carrier will open a new route between the Namibian capital and the Rainbow Nation. The 2 weekly rotations (Tuesday and Thursday) will lead to Johannesburg.
For its part, Airlink will relaunch a third route between South Africa and Namibia from October 26. This will go from Johannesburg to Windhoek, once a day. The company will add 6 additional weekly connections from November 16, and 6 more from February 1, 2021. Airlink recently resumed services between Cape Town and Windhoek, and Johannesburg and Walvis Bay.
Note that traffic between the two southern African countries was suspended in March, due to border closures implemented as part of the fight against the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. While Namibia reopened its skies on September 1, South Africa waited until October 1.
