Fleet
Air Botswana (IATA: BP, ICAO: BOT) is Botswana's flag carrier, founded in 1972. The airline operates from its main hub at Sir Seretse Khama International Airport in Gaborone, serving regional destinations across southern Africa with scheduled passenger services.
The airline's network focuses on connecting Botswana to neighbouring countries and regional business centres. Air Botswana maintains a modern, efficient fleet suited to the varied distances and passenger volumes of regional African aviation, ranging from shorter regional routes to longer-haul services.
Air Botswana's fleet comprises turboprop and regional jet aircraft: ATR 42 and ATR 72 twin-engine turboprops for shorter regional routes, and the Embraer E-170 regional jet for higher-capacity and longer-distance services. This mix allows the airline to serve both smaller regional airports and major hubs efficiently.
