Walvis Bay International Airport, serving the town of Walvis Bay in Namibia’s Erongo Region, is conveniently located approximately 15 kilometers to the east of the town. In 2015, the airport made significant strides in accommodating air travel, handling more than 98,178 passengers and recording over 20,000 aircraft movements.
With a notable historical background, the airport was initially established as AFB Rooikop, a South African Air Force station that later became a base, ultimately closing in 1994. Throughout its history, it hosted various SAAF squadrons, such as 16 Squadron SAAF and 27 Squadron SAAF, contributing to its rich aviation heritage.
Recent developments have seen increased air traffic due to factors like flight performance and headwinds. Airlink, in response to these challenges, redirected its technical fuel-stop to Walvis Bay International Airport from Windhoek, enabling a more efficient and convenient route to Saint Helena Airport. This strategy has not only optimized travel logistics but also contributed to the airport’s importance in regional air travel, with airlines like Airlink resuming services to the island via Walvis Bay. The facility’s adherence to International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards underscores its commitment to safety and reliability. In addition, Walvis Bay International Airport rehabilitation included the construction of a cutting-edge polymer perimeter fence, designed to shield the facility from coastal weather conditions, making it the first of its kind in Namibia. These advancements are indicative of the airport’s significance as a regional air travel hub.
