Taxis are readily available outside the terminal building. It is highly recommended to agree on the fare with the driver before beginning your journey, as most taxis are not metered. Both private and shared taxis operate in Windhoek. For a more direct and guaranteed service, consider pre-booking a private shuttle or cab service, many of which can be arranged online or through your hotel.
Several international and local car rental companies have desks inside the Eros Airport terminal. Major providers include Avis, Hertz, Budget, and Europcar, alongside local specialists. It is advisable to book your vehicle in advance, particularly during peak travel seasons, to ensure availability and secure better rates. A rental car is a popular option for exploring Windhoek and the surrounding regions of Namibia.
There are no direct public bus or train services connecting Eros Airport to Windhoek's city center. The primary means of transport for arriving passengers are taxis, pre-booked shuttles, or rental cars. The municipal bus network in Windhoek does not have a dedicated route serving the airport.
Hi,
In defense of Eros Airport as such, the Pilot was NOT familiar with the Airport and took the shorter run-way with an overloaded Plane. Having 5 Passengers in a 210 on a very hot day at 5600ft ASL is looking for problems.
It is sad that Namibia gets such negative publicity, due to one Airline not putting Safety First. :(
A Namibian.
An Atlantic Aviation Cessna 210 lost power and went down in a residential neighbourhood right after takeoff from Eros Airport on 11 January 2008, killing all six people on board:
