The Minister of Works and Transport, John Mutorwa, fears Fly Namibia might close its route from Eros Airport to Rundu.

This comes after his recent experience on a trip to Rundu as the only passenger on the plane.

John Mutorwa says the number of passengers flying from Eros Airport to Rundu has been minimal, and this can be controlled.

Of all the country's 14 regions, Kavango West is the only one without a fully-fledged Namibian Traffic Information System (NaTIS) office. 

As a result, residents travel 130 kilometers to Rundu for services.

At the moment, the NaTIS office at Nkurenkuru only offers learners' license tests, renewals of driving licenses, registration and licensing of vehicles, and personalized number plates.

During a meeting at Nkurenkuru with the Minister of Works and Transport, John Mutorwa, he urged that NaTIS services be brought closer to the people.

The construction of Impalila Island Road is progressing well, despite the challenges of the rain received during January and early this month.

Minister of Works and Transport, John Mutorwa, and Roads Authority CEO, Conrad Lutombi, inspected the roads on Friday.

The Minister of Works and Transport visited Impalila Island to get first-hand information on the road's construction and expressed satisfaction with the progress.
