CAAB in talks with four major airlines

Speaking at the Hospitality and Tourism Association of Botswana (HATAB) conference, CAAB CEO Bao Mosinyi identified the four airlines as Qatar Airways, Emirates Airways, Rwanda Air, and Arkia Airlines.

While Botswana has 11 Bilateral Air Services Agreements in place with other countries, just four airlines currently operate in the country besides the national carrier. The CAAB is hoping successful negotiations with the four major airlines will help revive a sector hard hit by COVID-19 which dropped passenger numbers by 88%.
