Namibia Flyafrica has been grounded

The grounding was announced earlier this month following Namibia Flyafrica wet-leasing aircraft from its Zimbabwean sister despite the latter having had its Air Operators Certificate suspended last month.

 

The DCA said: “In fact, Bay Air Aviation’s partner in Zimbabwe which enabled their Namibian operations have had their Air Operators Certificate suspended by that country’s civil aviation authority. Despite this development Flyafrica continued, without consulting the DCA beforehand, with flights utilising planes not authorised by the Namibia DCA."

 

The carrier is rumoured to resume operations later this week, although this could change based on the outcome of a court case in Harare.
