Air Namibia announced that as from March next year, Lagos (Nigeria) and Accra (Ghana) will be added to the airline’s route network.

Apart from providing direct connection from Namibia to West Africa, the operation transports passengers and cargo on the Lagos-Accra-Lagos route.

Days of operation departing from Windhoek will be Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The operating schedule and flight timings allow smooth and convenient connections inbound and outbound to regional flights, connecting West Africa via Windhoek to Johannesburg, Cape Town, Luanda, Harare, Lusaka, Vic Falls, Gaborone Walvis Bay and Durban.

“This much needed service will give our passengers a better alternative travel option, and will reduce travel times between Namibia and West Africa by more than 60 %,” says adv. Mandi Samson, Air Namibia Acting Managing Director.

Air Namibia operated a flight connecting Windhoek and Accra, however the service was suspended in 2013. The airline says that providing flights for passengers and cargo for travel between Lagos and Accra, will create a bigger operation than before.
