Most visitors enter Namibian grounds at Hosea Kutako International Airport in Windhoek. It lies about 40 kilometres from the city centre. Windhoek being nestled in a narrow valley. The Eros Airport closer to town doesn't have sufficient landing strips for larger aircraft and is being used for domestic flights and by local charter companies only.
At present the national airline Air Namibia flies with its only Jumbo Jet four times a week directly from Frankfurt to Windhoek. LTU flies twice a week from Duesseldorf and Munich to Windhoek. All other airlines - Lufthansa, SAA, KLM, Swiss, British Airways - service Windhoek via Johannesburg only, which increases the travel time from 10 to about 12 hours, often at a cheaper tariff, though.
