The national carrier of Botswana -Air Botswana (AB)-currently has a fleet made up of an Embraer jet and three ATR servicing routes from Gaborone to Johannesburg, Cape Town, Kasane, Maun, and Francistown.
Amongst the new additions is an 88-seater aircraft named Kalahari, which now holds the distinction of being the largest in the Air Botswana fleet. The Kalahari is expected to play a key role in the airline’s expansion plans, with new routes becoming operational in phases between September 1, 2024, and November 1, 2024.
