Air Botswana resumes domestic services

28 Mai 2020

Gaborone, Botswana, May 27 (Infosplusgabon) - Air Botswana is expected to resume domestic flights next month, authorities in the ministry of transport have announced.

The development comes after the national airliner ceased operations in March, as part of efforts to control the spread of COVID-19.

Thulaganyo Segokgo, the transport minister, said the airline will begin domestic operations in two weeks.

“Air Botswana is looking at commencing domestic flight service on the 12th of June,” said Segokgo on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Statistics Botswana, the national data authority’s latest transport and infrastructure report, indicates that air passenger movements decreased in the last quarter of 2019.

Currently, movements in the airspace are also expected to take a huge drop in the first quarter of 2020, following the ban of passenger aircrafts movements due to COVID-19 pandemic.
