Windhoek-based Air Namibia is to start scheduled passenger flight operations between Accra, Ghana and Windhoek, Namibia via Lagos, Nigeria on June 29, 2018.
The airline will operate four flights per week using an Airbus A 319. The aircraft offers a seat configuration of 16 Business Class and 96 Economy Class seats.
The operations was initially set to commence on March 25, 2018 but had to be delayed due to difficulty with obtaining the preferred departure slot at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).
The airline in a statement copied aviationghana, noted that it will now depart the KIA at 8:00pm local on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, make a brief stop in Lagos, and arrive at 5:50 am local time.
“The Ghana Airports Company Limited and the Minister for Aviation have tried their best to assist Air Namibia with the slot but it remained impossible due to the current congestion around that time,” Namibia’s High Commissioner, Mr. Charles B. Josob said.
