"AIR NAMIBIA'S flagship aircraft, the Boeing 747-400 Combi, is set to fly its last commercial flight for the national carrier on Wednesday next week.

In a week's time, a Boeing 747-300 aircraft from South African Airways will arrive in Namibia to service the route to Germany in place of the Jumbo.

Air Namibia will lease the aircraft until October, by which time it hopes to have entered into a long-term lease agreement for at least one Airbus A340-300 in accordance with its new business plan.

A second Airbus aircraft will be required to reintroduce a London flight.

The aircraft being leased from SAA will be able to carry about 50 more passengers than the Boeing 747-400 does at present - with a capacity of 333."
