Air Botswana Corporation is Botswana's state-owned national flag carrier, with its headquarters located in Gaborone.[4] It operates scheduled domestic and regional flights from its main base at Sir Seretse Khama International Airport.[5] Air Botswana has been loss-making for several years, and there have been various attempts to privatise the company, and frequent changes to the corporation's management and board, so far without reducing the losses.[6]
