The Private Aviation Standard for Walvis Bay

Walvis Bay-Rooikop has long been the principal airfield for Namibia’s central coast, serving as a vital link between African business hubs and world-class adventure destinations. Today, the airport is increasingly favored by private jet travelers seeking both exclusivity and convenience. With a modern terminal and recently upgraded runway, Walvis Bay easily accommodates everything from light jets to large-cabin aircraft.


Unlike commercial airports in the region, Walvis Bay is designed to expedite your journey. The discreet general aviation terminal offers direct apron access, expedited customs and immigration procedures, and a relaxed, secure environment for pre-flight preparation. For Jettly guests, this means you can board your aircraft and depart for your next destination—be it Windhoek, Johannesburg, or Cape Town—within minutes of arrival. The airport’s location on the edge of the Namib Desert also ensures breathtaking views from the moment you take off.


Walvis Bay is not just an airport—it’s the launch pad for private safaris, luxury coastal escapes, and bespoke business travel throughout southern Africa. Every detail is tailored to the specific needs of private jet flyers, setting a new standard for personalized aviation service in Namibia.
