Namibia Air has received its air operating licences, effective from 6 August and valid for five years.
The transport commission handed over the licences to minister of works and transport Veikko Nekundi and the Namibia Air committee.
The licences allow Namibia Air to acquire aircrafts, with the first flight scheduled to take off in the first week of December.
Namibia Air acting chairperson Jonas Sheelongo says the failure of Air Namibia has taught them about the mistakes not to be made again.
“We have learned a lot to make sure we deliver and our airline does not fail,” says Sheelongo.
The next stage before the launch of the airline will be to acquire an air operator certificate.
The process is in five stages and the ministry says it should be completed within 90 days
