Charter A Plane To Namibia

Although it is generally safer to arrive at your destination by air, the safety of an airline cannot be taken for granted in Africa.Stats indicate that Africa has 37% of the world’s aviation accidents, but only 4% of the world’s flights. While there has been a steady decline in fatal air accidents across the globe, Africa’s air fatalities have increased over the past decade. Private charter plane to Namibia to reach your destination has become a lot more attractive, whether you are planning to visit Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Zambia, Mozambique or any other destination on the continent.

But it is not all bad news – Africa on the whole has not been as badly affected as the rest of the world by the economic meltdown. It is therefore the only region to see air travel increase over the past couple of years. Developed markets are now feeding off lesser-developed markets, with economic expansion seen in several African airlines.
Six of the world’s ten fastest-growing economies are based in sub-Saharan Africa which is good news for the notoriously undercapitalised airlines and corporate flight departments of Africa.

Namibia does not have an official transport system – privately-owned bus services that run between Windhoek and Cape Town, Johannesburg, Victoria Falls and Swakopmund is all that’s available. The tarred road network is a mere 824 268 square kms with gravel roads covering 37 000km. Although well-maintained, driving on these roads can prove to be quite treacherous.

It makes sense to charter a plane to Namibia; there are more than 350 airstrips throughout Namibia that serve the more remote areas. The main airports are Hodea Kutako International which is 48 kms from Windhoek, Eros Airport in southern Windhoek; Walvis Bay Airport, which serves as a second international airport and Swakopmund Airport, servicing the main coastal tourist town.

If you are planning to visit Namibia any time soon, it is advisable to charter a plane to avoid frustration and delays, as many of the airlines in Africa are still suffering from their reputation of offering a poor selection, with Namibia being no exception.
