South African regional carrier Airlink has expanded its route network with the introduction of a second daily flight between OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg and Walvis Bay International Airport (WVB) in Walvis Bay. The additional service, which commenced on 04 July 2025, now offers travellers increased flexibility and improved connectivity between South Africa and Namibia’s west coast.
The twice-daily flights operate as follows:
- Depart OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg at 10:20 and 14:05
- Depart Walvis Bay International Airport (WVB) in Walvis Bay at 13:40 and 17:25
This route enhancement significantly strengthens regional air travel by linking one of Africa’s busiest economic hubs with Namibia’s vital coastal city. It supports both business and leisure travel, facilitating easier access for tourists, entrepreneurs, and professionals engaged in Namibia’s growing logistics, energy, and port sectors.
Walvis Bay serves as a gateway to some of the most iconic attractions in Namibia, including the Namib Desert, the charming coastal town of Swakopmund, and the breathtaking Namib-Naukluft National Park. The increased flight frequency is expected to stimulate tourism growth and enhance cross-border trade and commercial ties between the two countries.
With this strategic move, Airlink continues to play a key role in boosting intra-African connectivity, reinforcing its position as a leading regional airline in Southern Africa.
