Critics Warn New Airline Could Repeat Air Namibia's Mistakes
Opposition parties have expressed concern over the government's plan to relaunch a national airline. They warned that Namibians could bear the cost of another failed venture if lessons from Air Namibia's collapse are ignored.
Despite opposition warnings, works and transport minister Veikko Nekundi confirmed the government's plans to establish a new national airline under the name Namibia Air Pty Limited, a fully state-owned entity registered in Namibia. An interim board of seven members and three attendants has already been appointed, and market analysis, traffic forecasting, and business model formulation are underway.
Nekundi has confirmed that Namibia Air is expected to begin operations in the next financial year, noting the competitiveness of the African aviation market.
