Fly Namibia welcomes Qatari Airlink investment
Fly Namibia has welcomed the acquisition of a 25% stake in South African airline Airlink and says it could bolster air travel into Namibia.
Airlink is a strategic partner in Fly Namibia, having acquired a 40% stake in the local airline in 2022.
Commenting on the recently concluded transaction, Fly Namibia MD Andre Compion said it was a positive development.
“It will not have any impact on our operations. The association with Qatar is very positive, they’re a major player globally. More feed from them onto Airlink’s flights into Namibia will in turn lead to better feed onto our flights,” Compion said.
The investment in Airlink – which flies to more than 45 destinations in 15 African countries – will enhance a code-sharing partnership between the two airlines. The deal will bolster Qatar Airways’ Africa growth strategy and cement its role as a key driver of the continent’s economic success.
