In January 2012 they announced an upgrade to their Regional fleet by adding two New Generation Airbus A319-100 aircraft.
The A319-100 is a two class configuration, with 16 Business Class and 96 Economy class seats. The seat width has a 54 inch pitch in Business Class and 32 inch pitch in Economy Class. The aircrafts will service the Windhoek, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Luanda andAccra routes.
History of Air Namibia flights
Founded in 1946 as South West Air Transport (Namibia was previously known as South-West Africa), the first Air Namibia flight was flown in 1948. In 1959, with the merger of "Oryx Aviation" and "South West Air Transport", the merged entity was named "Suidwes Lugdiens". In 1966 Walvis Bay's Namib Air became a wholly owned subsidiary of Suidwes Lugdiens. In 1978 Suidwes Lugdiens was renamed Namib Air. In 1990 a twice-weekly flight service between Windhoek and Frankfurt was started. After the independence of Namibia from South Africa, Namib Air was renamed Air Namibia in October 1991. In 1992 Air Namibia flights between London and Windhoek commenced. In 1994 Air Namibia flights between Frankfurt and Windhoek and flights between London and Windhoek were increased to three weekly. In 1999 Air Namibia flights to Europe (Frankfurt and London) were serviced using a Boeing 747-400. In August 2001 flights between Frankfurt and Windhoek were increased to four weekly. From the 31st August 2004, Air Namibia flights between Windhoek and Frankfurt were flown using a McDonnell Douglas MD11. In 2005 Air Namibia commenced flights between London Gatwick and Windhoek. In September 2006 the McDonnell Douglas MD11 was replaced by an Airbus A340-300. From the 27th November 2006, a third weekly Air Namibia flight between Windhoek and Luanda commenced.

As a consequence, Air Namibia has found it necessary to re-asses its route network in order to offer an equal balance between supply and demand. The national airline needs to minimise its losses." Air Namibia will still provide a charter service for any customers wishing to travel to Luderitz, Oranjemund and Cape Town. |
