Chobe bemoans Air Botswana services

Announcing their financial results for the six months ended 31 August 2010, Chobe said Air Botswana's failure to offer internationally acceptable service and its monopoly of routes into Northern Botswana was to the detriment of their business, which was heavily dependent on reliable air transport.

"The biggest challenge the tourism industry faces within Botswana remains the often sub-standard service rendered by Air Botswana, the only air carrier allowed to service the tourist industry in the Okavango," said Managing Director, Jonathan Gibson.
