Air Namibia Charging Fees To Transport Firearms

If you are flying aboard Air Namibia for a safari be aware that the airline is charging additional fees for your firearms as checked baggage. Although the fee went into effect May 1, 2013, hunters are being caught unawares at check-in, so we are sending out this warning for those uninformed by the airline or their travel agent. The fee for international flights operated by Air Namibia is $100 US, $60 for regional and $50 for domestic flights. The same fees apply to other sports equipment, such as scuba gear, ski equipment and even tennis equipment. Unfortunately, Air Namibia has not posted any of this information on their website as of yet.
