Walvis Bay International Airport

Walvis Bay International Airport (WVB) is a key gateway to Namibia’s coast, located about 15 kilometers east of Walvis Bay in the Erongo Region. It serves as the country’s second most important international airport after Hosea Kutako International Airport in Windhoek. The airport features a modern passenger terminal with basic facilities such as check-in counters, waiting lounges, rental car services, and limited food and beverage options. Its single asphalt runway, capable of handling large aircraft, supports both domestic and regional operations.

Airlines serving Walvis Bay include Airlink with flights to Cape Town and Johannesburg, and FlyNamibia offering connections to Windhoek and other local destinations. The airport mainly caters to business travelers, tourists visiting the Namib Desert and Skeleton Coast, and regional trade.

Public transportation options are limited, with most travelers relying on taxis, private transfers, and rental cars for the 15–20 minute journey into Walvis Bay or the longer 40-kilometer trip to Swakopmund. The airport’s location makes it a convenient entry point for visitors exploring Namibia’s Atlantic coast and nearby national parks.
