Air Namibia Takes Delivery of First Airbus A330

Air Namibia, the Windhoek-based national airline of the Republic of Namibia, has taken delivery of its first A330-200.

The aircraft is the first of two A330s being leased by Air Namibia from US lessor Intrepid.

The airline’s A330 features a two-class cabin layout seating 244 passengers which comprises 30 business class seats and 214 economy class seats.

Air Namibia started commercial services with its first Airbus aircraft in 2006 with an A340-300. The airline currently operates four A319s on regional routes, as well as two A340-300s on its flagship service from Windhoek to Frankfurt.

“The high efficiency and low operating costs of the A330 makes it a perfect fit into our fleet. With an aircraft we know to be both reliable and comfortable it will offer the best flight experience to our passengers,” said Ms Theopoltina M. Namases, Managing Director of Air Namibia.
