Second Airbus delivered to Air Namibia

Air Namibia has taken delivery of its second brand new Airbus A330-200 aircraft to boost its fleet as part of its major upgrade and fleet renewal program. The second A330-200 was handed over to Air Namibia by Airbus on Friday in Toulouse, France, following the delivery of the first aircraft in September. “We are very pleased to take delivery of our second A330-200, marking another important step in the modernisation of our fleet and our ongoing commitment to offer our customers an exceptional level of service,” said Theopolina Namases, the Managing Director of Air Namibia in a statement. The delivery of the second airbus brings the airline’s fleet to 10 modern aircraft. Air Namibia Head of Corporate Communications Paulus Homateni Nakawa said the airline was delighted to receive the second A330-200 as the aircraft had proven to be a market leader with more than 1 000 aircraft delivered to over 100 operators worldwide. “It comes at the very best time of the year. It is a gift to our passengers for this festive season, to travel in sheer comfort as they are joining their friends and family during this period of the year,” said Nakawa. The two aircraft are being leased from US-based lessor, Intrepid Aviation. The lease agreement will be for a 12-year period. The aircraft will be used on the Frankfurt to Windhoek route.
