NAC ordered to fully restore Puma’s possession

A purported failure by the Namibia Airports Company to comply with court orders directing it to restore Puma Energy’s possession of specified premises and refuelling facilities has resulted in the company being sued for contempt of court.

Following an application by the energy company in which it sought the High Court to order Namibia Airports Company (NAC) to urgently restore its access and control over key fuel and operational areas at Eros and Andimba Toivo ya Toivo airports, the court granted in favour of Puma.

Puma had argued in that application that NAC spoliated it, unlawfully deprived it of its possession of its aircraft fueling business conducted at its fuel facilities at the two airports on 11 March 2026, without following legal procedures.

It claimed it was unlawfully deprived, at the Eros Airport, of its possession of a depot and bulk facility and a roadway from the depot to the apron and portions of the apron.
