Allexer Namundjembo Swiss carrier Edelweiss has launched non-stop flights between Zurich and Windhoek, starting with two weekly services and adding a third frequency in July to meet rising demand. The inaugural flight landed at Hosea Kutako International Airport on Monday at around 19h30 with 285 passengers on board, according to the Namibia Airports Company (NAC). The return flight to Zurich departed later that evening with 261 passengers.

Edelweiss marked the start of what it called “a special new chapter” with a cake ceremony and ribbon-cutting at Zurich Airport.
