Walvis Bay International Airport — Local services in Erongo Region

Walvis Bay Airport is one of the cleanest and most well-maintained airports in Namibia. Even though it’s a small regional airport, the entire experience is smooth and comfortable from start to finish. The staff are friendly, professional, and always ready to help passengers with a smile. The airport layout is simple and easy to navigate, which makes check-in, security, and boarding very quick compared to larger international airports.

The building itself is modern, bright, and well-kept, with clean restrooms and comfortable waiting areas. The air-conditioning works well, and the place always feels neat and organized. The café inside offers good coffee, snacks, and light meals, which is great while waiting for your flight.
