Air Botswana worth P300m – Mokaila 

The national carrier, Air Botswana is currently valued at P300 million including its aircraft and property, says the Minister of Transport and Communications, Kitso Mokaila.

Addressing Parliamentarians recently, the minister said government is still continuing with the privatisation of the national airline with plans to turn it into a private company where on its own right would be able to raise its own loans.

“The value of Air Botswana today is P300 million looking at its assets being aircraft and property.

If we refleet, it would have a different value and we should also consider that it has developed capacity on its ability to maintain aircraft repairs.

They can become a regional player in this,” he said.

Early this year, the minister said about 17 companies expressed interest in buying the ailing national airline with tourism operator, Wilderness Holdings emerging the preferred bidder.

Wilderness, however later withdrew their interest.

 Air Botswana has been dogged by financial losses and poor service delivery due to an aging fleet and high operational costs for quite some time.

Last year, the national airline launched a code-sharing partnership with Qatar Airways; a move that chairperson, Tebogo Masire is upbeat will boost the country and the airline’s exposure on the international market.

Meanwhile, about five airlines have been granted traffic rights into Botswana, which include Air Namibia, South African Express (SAX), South African Air Link, Ethiopian Airlines as well as Air Services.

Air Namibia operates Windhoek, Gaborone, Durban, Victoria Falls, while SAX operates Johannesburg-Gaborone route and South African Air Link operates Capetown, Maun, Johannesburg and Gaborone routes.  Ethiopian Airlines operates Gaborone, Addis Ababa and Victoria Falls routes.

According to the minister, the fifth one, Fast Jet Airlines was issued with an Air Licence to operate on the Harare, Francistown, and Gaborone routes, but have not yet commenced operations. However, their licence expired on January 17 this year and has not been renewed to date.

Late last year, the national carrier announced that they have suspended the Gaborone-Harare route as part of its plans to enhance the scheduled rationalisation exercise for the upcoming summer period.

According to Air Botswana public relations officer, Thabiso Leshoai the rationalisation was part of the airline’s plan to enhance schedule integrity and improve customer experience without compromising its commercial viability. 

Air Botswana was flying the Gaborone-Harare route three times a week.

Flying to Botswana ? Why not try Air Botswana ? Air Botswana, based in the capital, Gaborone, is the national carrier and has been operating scheduled services for nearly forty years. The airline has a proud history of connecting Botswana to neighbouring countries and has a major part to play in getting passengers to the main tourist areas of Botswana from the popular African gateway in Johannesburg. Air Botswana has its headquarters close to the newly modernised Sir Seretse Khama International Airport in Gaborone and the modern facilities complement perfectly the friendliness of all the Air Botswana staff, both on the ground and in the air. Although the airline only operates a small fleet of aircraft, with five Franco-Italian ATR turbo prop aircraft currently in service, it provides a fast and efficient service to a total of seven regional destinations. Air Botswana may be the only airline registered in Botswana to operate scheduled services but its strong management team ensures that it meets the expectations of both local and international passengers on all its flights. Explore Botswana with Air Botswana For those who want to experience all that magical Botswana has to offer, Air Botswana could be the ideal airline around which to plan your trip. With flights from its operating hub in Gaborone to the tourist airport at Maun, which serves the world famous Okavango Delta, and to the local airport at Kasane, ideal for tourists looking to experience the fabulous Elephant viewing in the Chobe National Park, Air Botswana make a flying visit to two of Africa's essential sights a pleasurable experience. Air Botswana flights to Gaborone are a perfect way to enter to country. Gaborone is the country's political, commercial and administrative capital with Air Botswana providing regular services from South Africa (Johannesburg), Zambia (Lusaka) and Zimbabwe (Harare). Gaborone is a modern relaxed city containing the regional offices of the Southern African Development Community, as well as the Botswana Stock Exchange and very important Debswana Diamond company offices. The Botswana economy is built on the diamond trade, with the country having become the world's largest producer of diamonds since independence in 1966. The real joys of visiting Botswana are both the unique wild life viewing and the natural friendliness of its people. You would expect a capital city to be busy and often fraught with traffic noise and bottlenecks. Gaborone is the opposite, with charm, grace and courtesy always evident amongst its smiling population. Too few visitors stop to explore this modern, but historic city choosing instead to by-pass it on their way to the wildlife sanctuaries. The surprise of Gaborone is the ease in which you can visit and learn about the democratic institutions which keep this wonderful country stable and we would recommend a visit to the peaceful plaza housing the National Assembly and the House of Chiefs during your visit. Of course, Gaborone isn't the primary reason for a visit to Botswana, most travellers jet off to the unique and absolutely world class wildlife to be seen, in particular, in the Okavango Delta and the Chobe National Park. Air Botswana flights to Maun Airport serve the Delta and Kasane is the gateway for Chobe. Botswana is an important sight for the preservation and study of the African Wild Dog and the Botswana Predator conservation trust charity (http://www.bpctrust.org) is prominent in researching the development of conservation with respect to the maintenance of this important indigenous species. Travel to Botswana from Johannesburg with Air Botswana As well as the domestic flights, Air Botswana flies passengers into Botswana from a number of important international gateways, giving passengers from all around the world easy access to the country and the delights of its wildlife sights. The most important and popular African entry point is the South African city of Johannesburg. Air Botswana operates a minimum of four direct flights a day from Johannesburg to Gaborone and two direct flights a day to Maun, with Kasane having direct flights five time per week. Flights from Lusaka in neighbouring Zambia fly on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays with the same days seeing flights flown to Harare in Zimbabwe. From the UK, convenient connecting flights are available using one of the three main international carriers flying form London to Johannesburg, these are British Airways, SAA and Virgin Atlantic. In addition many of the growing airlines based in the Middle East, such as Emirates, Etihad, Qatar and Gulf Air offer convenient and very competitively priced one-stop services through their respective home airport hubs. If you are on business and wish to visit Botswana's second largest city, Francistown, Air Botswana operate direct flights twice a week from Johannesburg on Tuesdays and Thursday. Francistown is an important centre for the Botswana mining industry with the commercial importance of the city being recognised with recently upgraded facilities at Francistown Airport. Air Botswana operates a single class, all economy aircraft configuration, with cold snack catering plus hot and cold drinks.
