WELCOME ON BOARD

October was a month that reminded us why the people behind the journey matter most. At FlyNamibia, we’ve always believed that “we rise by lifting others” – and this past month, that belief was reflected in every corner of our airline.

In recognition of World Mental Health Day, our teams came together for honest, inspiring conversations led by clinical psychologist Michelle McCulloch. These sessions encouraged us to prioritise our mental well-being – to pause, reflect, and support one another both in and beyond the workplace. The dialogue was heartfelt and empowering, reminding us that strength often lies in vulnerability and community.

Later in the month, the airline turned pink for our annual Pink Week campaign. Across our bases and offices, pink ribbons, scarves, and smiles lit up the skies as we joined the global fight against breast cancer. Female staff members received free breast screenings and participated in awareness sessions, creating a space of care, education, and solidarity. It was a week that embodied compassion in action – a beautiful reflection of our shared humanity.

We were also incredibly proud to support one of Namibia’s brightest creative talents, fashion designer Melisa Poulton. Melisa and her team flew with us to Lüderitz, where they filmed the official video for her new collection, one that would later make history on the international stage. Her debut at Paris Fashion Week marked a first for Namibia and stands as a shining symbol of what’s possible when passion meets perseverance. Congratulations, Melisa – your journey lifts us all.

And finally, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Namibia’s national men’s cricket team, the FNB Eagles, on their thrilling victory over South Africa’s Proteas. The historic win, played at the official opening of the new Namibia Cricket Ground – right next to our home at Eros Airport – was a defining moment for Namibian sport and national pride.

As we look ahead to the festive season, we remain inspired by the spirit of unity. Every triumph, big or small, reminds us that when Namibians come together – in courage, compassion, and creativity – we truly rise by lifting others.

Welcome aboard,

Nerine Uys, CEO
