Air Namibia orders two 319s


To expand its global operations, Air Namibia, the national airline of the Republic of Namibia, has ordered two new Airbus A319 aircraft.

Seating 112 passengers in a two class layout, the aircraft will bring new levels of comfort to regional routes from Windhoek to other major African cities.

“Our in-service experience with Airbus aircraft has confirmed that the A319 is the ideal aircraft for Air Namibia’s regional routes,” Theo M. Namases, Acting CEO of Air Namibia said.

“The efficiency of our new aircraft, together with their commonality with our existing fleet will provide a strong basis for our continued growth and contribution to the Namibian tourist industry,” he added.

John Leahy Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers said, “Air Namibia’s decision to invest in new A319s is a great endorsement for the efficiency of the aircraft and Airbus’ family concept.”

Air Namibia already operates two leased A319s on regional routes, and two A340-300 aircraft on its international route between Windhoek to Frankfurt, Germany.
