about

AOPA Namibia

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association of Namibia (AOPA Namibia) is a non-profit aviation advocacy organisation fighting to protect aviation rights & freedoms for all its members in Namibia. Think of us like Namibia's Chamber of Aviation.

AOPA Namibia is not an Approved Maintenance Organisation (AMO), Air Operator Certificate (AOC) holder, Approved Training Organisation (ATO), Approved Recreational Organisation (ARO), or any other aviation entity that is regulated by the NCAA or controlled by the Government of Namibia.

Therefore, AOPA Namibia is the ONLY aviation advocacy organization in the country devoted to promoting, growing and protecting aviation in Namibia on behalf of ALL direct and indirect aviation stakeholders. We are here to represent and advocate on behalf of the needs of our members.

Challenges faced over recent years have highlighted that general and commercial aviation in Namibia are vulnerable, which is why AOPA Namibia and its entire membership needs your help.

If you are not already a member please click on the Join AOPA Namibia button above to complete and submit your online application form.

An individual calendar year membership costs far less than a single tank of AvGas, but the value you'll receive in terms of pilot protection, aviation infrastructure protection, and regulatory reform is invaluable!

We look forward to welcoming you amongst our ranks to support our mission to protect your right to fly. And as always, fly safe!
