Westair Aviation

Westair Aviation is one of Namibia’s longest-established and most diversified aviation companies, with roots dating back to 1967. Originally founded as an aircraft maintenance organisation, it has grown into a fully integrated aviation services provider offering scheduled flights, private charters, offshore support, helicopter operations, and aircraft maintenance.

The company operates under the FlyNamibia brand for scheduled passenger services while also providing private and corporate charters, Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance (ACMI) services, and specialised offshore aviation support for the oil and gas sector. With a fleet of over 30 fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, Westair is capable of serving a wide range of client needs both domestically and internationally.

Westair Aviation is particularly recognised as a leading provider of aviation services to Namibia’s energy sector. It holds BARS (Basic Aviation Risk Standards) Gold Status and complies with International Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP) standards, making it the preferred partner for many offshore and remote-location operations in the country.

In addition to flight operations, the group offers comprehensive aircraft maintenance services and has built a strong reputation for technical reliability and safety. Its maintenance capabilities support both its own fleet and third-party operators, contributing to the overall development of aviation infrastructure in Namibia.

Westair Aviation holds Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) in multiple African countries and has accumulated significant international operating experience. This regional and international footprint allows the company to offer flexible, cross-border aviation solutions while maintaining high safety and operational standards.

Today, Westair Aviation remains a cornerstone of Namibia’s aviation industry. Through its combination of scheduled services, charter operations, specialised energy-sector support, and maintenance expertise, the company continues to play a vital role in connecting Namibia domestically and linking it to regional and international markets.
