About This Airport
Light aircraft taxi past the Namib dunes at Rooikop, about 15 kilometres east of Walvis Bay, Namibia's coastal second international airport. Airlink and FlyNamibia operate daily services to Windhoek, Johannesburg and Cape Town, and the terminal opened in 2016 with a Cat 3C runway able to take larger types. Air cargo here is incidental belly freight — chilled fish and high-value mining samples — while routine freight moves through the deep-water Port of Walvis Bay, run by the Namibian Ports Authority and feeding the Walvis Bay Corridors into Zambia, the DRC and Botswana; urgent air shipments route via Hosea Kutako near Windhoek. The airport doubles as the arrival point for Swakopmund and the dune-and-lagoon tourism of the central coast.
