NAC: regional airports operating at loss despite investment

The News

Namibia Airports Company says Ondangwa, Rundu, Lüderitz, Keetmanshoop and Katima Mulilo airports remain unprofitable, with only Hosea Kutako International Airport operating at a profit and Walvis Bay closest to breaking even. NAC spent N$13.2 million on airport maintenance in 2024/25 and increased its budget to N$20 million for 2025/26, though a spokesperson says this remains insufficient as underlying assets depreciate at around 7.2% annually.
