Air Botswana Cuts Key Route: Air Botswana has suspended the Gaborone–Windhoek service, citing N$51.9 million in losses and a shortage of pilots able to operate routes—meaning fewer direct options for Botswana–Namibia travel and tourism links. Regional Travel Gets a Boost: Proflight Zambia launched a seasonal corridor that makes it easier to pair Victoria Falls with the Okavango Delta, routing via Lusaka/Livingstone to Maun with through-tickets. National Mourning for Festus Mogae: Botswana and the region are in mourning after the death of former President Festus Mogae, with thousands attending a hero’s farewell in Gaborone and Zimbabwe’s VP Kembo Mohadi set to represent President Mnangagwa at the burial. Sports Spotlight: Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo and other stars headline the Diamond League opener in Shanghai/Keqiao, while Botswana’s athletes also feature in ongoing African Championships coverage. Human Stories: UN relief operations were hit in Ukraine, and South Sudan’s humanitarian response continues with emergency air drops.
