With Namibian borders opening on September 1, the Lufthansa Group has announced that – subject to all necessary government approvals being granted – Eurowings will once again serve Windhoek with three weekly flights from Frankfurt.

“These plans form part of reviving the local tourism and commercial sector in Namibia,” said Dr André Schulz, GM: Southern Africa & East Africa for the Lufthansa Group, which operates the low-cost carrier, Eurowings.

On September 19, the first Eurowings flight will depart Frankfurt at 20h00 and arrive in Windhoek at 06h20 the next day. Thereafter, flights will depart Frankfurt for Windhoek at 20h00 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The return flight will operate on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, departing Windhoek at 08h20 and arriving in Frankfurt at 18h50.

Schulz said Namibia remained an important part of the Lufthansa Group’s Africa network. “Even throughout this unprecedented crisis, we were able to successfully operate several repatriation flights to and from Windhoek. Our commitment remains to offer regular commercial services that link Namibians to Germany, Europe and the rest of the world.”
