BAY AIR is to suspend their scheduled passenger service between Windhoek Eros and Walvis Bay as from the 19th of February. "Spiralling operational cost are to blame here, the average person on the street just cannot justify spending that sort of money on an airline ticket - although passenger loads are good we would have to increase ticket prices by as much as 40% in order for us just to cut break even." It is with great regret that this announcement was made earlier in the week by the Bay Air Management, the aircraft used on the route will be absorbed into Bay Air's extensive Turbine charter fleet and will be available for ad-hoc Charters and Contract work.
