Air Botswana on turnaround path-Mabeo

Presenting the committee of supply speech recently, the minister of transport and communications Tshenolo Mabeo said, “ Air Botswana is currently implementing a five-year business plan that intends to turn Air Botswana into an economically and commercially sustainable airline.”

According to Mabeo there has been reduction in the number of flights to Maun, Kasane, Cape Town, Francistown, Harare and Lusaka in order to match passenger volumes. He added that, “ as a result of this rationalised schedule, an aircraft is always on standby to ensure efficient recovery, maximised maintenance opportunities, reduced operating cost and increased profitability.”
