The service has been suspended until January 01st 2016, when it will resume flying three times a week until 21st February 2016. These changes coincide with a major Government initiative which has seen the entire board of Air Botswana being sacked and the resignation of the General Manager, who was employed to turn the airline around both financially and operationally.
Despite this management turmoil and the announced flight cancellations, Air Botswana remains a favourite of Alternative Airlines and Botswana is still a must-see destination.
Press reports say that a new board will be appointed soon and an interim general manager has been found from within the Finance department.
In the last few years, Air Botswana has seen as increase in competition, as airlines such as Kenya Airways and Ethiopia Airlines have been granted permission to compete with the national carrier and the airline recently leased a 27 year old MD-83 jet to ensure the airline maintained schedule integrity, whilst its two owned aircraft are under operational review.
Air Botswana flights can be booked using Alternative Airines easy to use on-line booking facility and our experienced reservations team, experts in sorting out problems caused by airlines making last minute operational changes, are there to help, should you need them.
We will continue to recommend Air Botswana or offer a suitable alternative to encourage more people to visit this unrivalled part of Africa.
