The airline was established in 1946 as South West Air Transport and started operations in 1948. It was later renamed South West Airways in 1959. South West merged with Namib Air in 1978, retaining the Namib Air title. The government of Namibia acquired majority shareholdings in 1982 making it the national airline in 1987. It was renamed again to the current name of Air Namibia in October 1991 after the independence of the country

n the 1990s, Boeing 747SP and Boeing 747-400 aircraft were used for services to Europe. Since 2004, a McDonnell Douglas MD-11 has been used for these services, as well as an Airbus A340-312, which entered service late 2005. In early September 2006, Air Namibia obtained a second Airbus A340-312 replacing the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 services, as part of the long haul cost cutting and service efficiency program.

Air Namibia has shown an interest in Airbus A319 and Airbus A320 aircraft to replace ageing Boeing 737-200's currently serving regional and domestic routes
