Background ✨
Botswana’s Parliament said Air Botswana suspended three loss-making routes launched between Nov-2024 and Jul-2025, after net losses of BWP44.5 million, under a turnaround strategy that included restructuring, charter and leasing, travel packages, MRO expansion and a cargo feasibility study1. Parliament also said a C check on an ATR72-600 in Mar-2026 lifted operational aircraft to three, while work began to return two grounded ERJ145s from Namibia2.
