NAMIBIA: Eros Airport

About this NAC Airport
Eros Airport is five (5) km from Windhoek’s central business district (CBD), and is the busiest airport of NAC in terms of aircraft movements. Its reliable fuel supply makes it a favourite stopover destination for pilots and air travellers.

Apart from being the centre of aircraft maintenance, the airport is also Namibia’s hub for general and leisure aviation.

Amongst the key services available at Eros Airport is common cargo, fire station, ground handling and car rentals. Prime, but affordable land for prospective developers is available for warehouses, office blocks and hangars, offering close proximity to Windhoek’s CBD.

Scenic and pleasure flights can also be taken from the Eros Airport. Due to its proximity to the city, Eros Airport is limited to domestic flights to destinations such as Ondangwa, Walvis Bay, Katima Mulilo, Rundu and many other tourist destinations across Namibia.

Recently completed various capital projects at this airport include:

• Access control system towards northern hanger facilities
• Expansion of the apron and interanal security fencing
• Upgrade of perimeter fencing

Future capital projects, such as building of a bigger fire station, a blast fence at the airport and the extension of apron floodlights are envisaged.
