Travellers flying with Air Botswana should note that the airline has introduced a temporary fuel surcharge on all tickets issued from 21 April 2026 until further notice. The move follows continued increases in aviation fuel prices across the region, with the airline stating that it has been managing rising operating costs for several months, including operational adjustments where possible, before implementing the fuel surcharge.
Following a recent notification of increased local fuel prices, the adjustment has now become necessary.
The surcharge will:
- apply to domestic flights in Botswana and regional flights in Southern Africa
- be reflected separately on your ticket for transparency
- be charged per flight sector
Importantly, tickets issued before 21 April 2026 will not be affected.
For travellers planning trips within Botswana or regional connections across Southern Africa, this may result in slightly higher airfares, so it is advisable to check final ticket pricing before booking.
