Air Botswana hopes to have its three new Embraer aircraft and a basket of new regional routes up and running by September. The airline is adding three new E175s to its fleet, two configured with 50 seats and one 72-seater. Sales and Marketing Manager mogolo mokgosi confirmed with AirlinePros International that the acquisition was going ahead, but said schedules had yet to be loaded. Air Botswana wants to use the aircraft to add more regional flights. Potential new routes include Kasane to Cape Town, Maun to Cape Town, Maun to Kruger National Park, Kasane to Windhoek, Gaborone to Durban, and Gaborone to Windhoek. The airline is also looking to reinstate popular flights from Kasane to Johannesburg, Maun to Johannesburg, and Francistown to Johannesburg, which the airline suspended due to COVID-19. The new routes align with Air Botswana’s transformation plan, which aims to make it a leading airline in Africa. Rasebotsa Lulu, Air Botswana’s dynamic CEO, spoke about the airline’s ambitions during a welcome address at the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Wings of Change—Focus Africa (hashtag#WoCFA) event in Johannesburg last month. Lulu emphasized Air Botswana’s role as a flag carrier and suggested that enabling tourism and economic activity was as important as profits. She said the airline would benefit significantly from more international feeder traffic coming to places like neighboring Namibia. “There is huge potential to do more in terms of connecting markets and linking global supply chains for the economic prosperity of Botswana as a country, SADC as a region, and Africa as a continent," the CEO added. ~ For the full story, see the latest issue of AirBorne Canada, AirlinePros' monthly newsletter for travel agents and trade partners: https://lnkd.in/gTJDRyUZ To subscribe: https://lnkd.in/dyyStMmP 🛫 📸 AirlinePros Group CEO Achma Asokan (left) and Lulu Rasebotsa, Air Botswana's CEO, were spotted together at the IATA Wings of Change – Focus Africa conference in Jo’burg.

See you in Zanzibar! "AirlinePros works closely with a number of African airlines. We believe in the potential of the continent and we are proud to be associated with a number of African associations like AASA – Airlines Association of Southern Africa – and platforms like AviaDev. This year's edition of AviaDev at Windhoek, Namibia, was a huge success in bringing together airlines, airports, tourism authorities, governments, aviation experts, and suppliers. The masterclasses, workshops, one-to-one meetings, and networking opportunities made the event an outstanding one. My sincere appreciation to organizers Jon Howell and Mala Patel, I hope to see you in Zanzibar next year. I would also like to express my heartfelt congratulations to one of my oldest friends Joao Pó Jorge for the Girma Wake Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to develop aviation in Africa.
