Air Botswana Unveils New lounge

 According to Mmegi.bw, Sir Seretse Khama International Airport in Gaborone has finally opened a lounge after years of operating without one. The Pula Lounge was unveiled to the media last week and offers services such as free Wi-Fi, refreshments and television. The lounge will be available to Air Botswana's Teemane Club members, an exclusive Air Botswana programme that offers a range of privileges and personalised services to frequent flyers. Members of the club will have to earn a certain number of points to gain access to the lounge. "We will start offering the lounge services to our clients who are on the Gold Card and have earned 500 points, which is the equivalent of around 30,000 miles of flying with Air Botswana," said commercial manager Robert Mpabanga. The lounge is exclusive to Air Botswana passengers, as it aims to encourage people to use the country's airline.

Air Botswana Launches New Route

Air Botswana has launched a new daily service between Maun and Cape Town. Demand for the route has grown over the years and will provide the tourist market with an opportunity to combine the sea and Okavango Delta holiday experience. It is also timed to coincide with the peak of the tourism season, which will see increased levels of travel to most African holiday destinations. The addition of the route comes at a time when Air Botswana is looking to expand its route network into other southern African destinations. Currently, the airline flies regionally to South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The new route will be serviced by a BAE 146 jet.
