The Namibia Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has intensified efforts to upgrade infrastructure to modernise Namibia’s aviation system.
NCAA chairperson Bethuel Mujetenga revealed the plans last week when the aviation Authority presented its 2024/2025 Integrated Annual Report to the Minister of Works and Transport, Veikko Nekundi, on 6 November 2025.
Mujetenga said they are focussing on key pillars including safety and security oversight, optimisation of air navigation services, customer-centricity, and organisational culture transformation.
He said the Authority continues to implement major infrastructure upgrades and capital projects aimed at modernising Namibia’s aviation systems.
Key initiatives include the acquisition and installation of new Radar, Air Traffic Management (ATM), and Wide Area Multilateration/Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (WAM/ADS-B) systems within the Windhoek Flight Information Region, he said.
Mujetenga also highlighted that the Authority achieved an unqualified audit opinion, confirming its strong governance and financial discipline.
“For the financial year ending March 2025, the NCAA reduced its operational loss to just N$1 million, compared to N$8 million in the previous year, while achieving a comprehensive profit of N$52 million, up from the N$25 million recorded previously,” Mujetenga said.
A statement released by Authority’s spokesperson Nelson Ashipala said NCAA’s balance sheet strengthened significantly, with total assets rising by 66% to N$1 billion, driven by prudent investments and asset transfers. The achievements highlight the NCAA’s firm commitment to financial stability, one of the five pillars of its ongoing Five-Year Integrated Strategic Business Plan (2023/24– 2027/28), the statement said.
NCAA Executive Director, Toska Sem thanks the management, and staff for their professionalism and dedication to maintaining Namibia’s world-class aviation safety standards.
“Through sound governance, financial prudence, and unwavering commitment to safety, the NCAA remains a trusted regulator, listening, connecting, and building trust across Namibia’s skies,” she said.
