update (15 October 2020): According to aviation specialists ch-aviation, Air Namibia's international operations will remain on hold until further notice, but not indefinitely suspended.
Namibia's flag carrier, Air Namibia, has extened the suspension of regional and international flights. According to media reports from Namibia, the extension will last (at least) until 31 October 2020. Namibian newspaper "The Namibian" cites Air Namibia's corporate communications officer, Twaku Kayofa, saying that "regional and international flights are on hold because borders to certain destinations remain closed or only opened on 1 October". He also told the newspaper that most of the passengers to the regional destinations come from the Frankfurt international route, which is currently not operating. According to Mr Kayofa, the continued suspension of Air Namibia's regional and international flights has a detrimental effect on the airline's already difficult cash flow position.
Air Namibia resumed domestic operations on 20 September 2020 after the Government of Namibia lifted the State of Emergency. We'll keep you posted!
