Our Crew
From as far back as I can recall I have been crazy about flying. I started flying radio control aircraft at the age of 10. However, my latent aviation passion did not become more concrete until 2004 when I completed my PPL and started flying for the law firm in which I was a partner. As part of my legal studies I completed a Master of Laws selecting International Aviation Law as a focus. In 2009 I decided to study for and obtain my Commercial Pilot’s Licence and completed the FAA Instrument Commercial Licence as well as my Namibian Instrument and Commercial Licences. I began to free-lance for local operators and obtained my multi-engine, turbine endorsements.
Since having contracted a severe case of aviation influenza, I bought into Scenic Air in late 2010, quit formal legal practice, and now function as Scenic Air’s Managing Director and line pilot rated on all types Scenic Air operates.
I joined the Namibian Chapter of AOPA as executive board member. I am passionate about anything and everything aviation related with a special interest in Crew Resource Management. In my free time I fly my RV8 aerobatic aircraft and regularly take part in pylon races and air races. I also served as Airboss for Namibia’s International Airshow.
I was born in Namibia and raised in a beautiful small coastal town called Swakopmund. I love adventure and I am passionate about the Tourism Industry. I was fortunate enough to join the Aviation Industry in 2015 when I worked at the Swakopmund Airport. I soon realized my interest and quickly grew fond of the aviation world.
I am now privileged enough to be part of an amazing Scenic Air team. Be sure that a great adventure awaits.
To be exceptional you must follow your dreams.
I was born and raised in a small town north of Namibia (Oshakati). Although being limited in exposure and knowledge of the aviation industry growing up, it didn’t stop me from jumping off the mountain tops and build my wings on the way down. My career started in 2016 right after high school at 2 flight schools in Windhoek and I attained my Commercial Pilot License in 2023. Today I have the privilege of flying with an amazing team that shares the same passion I have. What a dream.
I look forward to sharing with you the magnificent scenery of this beautiful country. See you soon.
I grew up in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, where my passion for aviation began in high school. Since earning my Commercial Pilot License and completing my Instructor Rating, I’ve been fortunate to build a career doing what I love most – flying and sharing that passion with others.
I’m energized by people, inspired by nature, and driven by the constant learning that aviation offers. Joining Scenic Air has given me the opportunity to combine all these passions, and I look forward to showing you the incredible beauty of Namibia from the sky.
’m from Melbourne, Australia. I was inspired to become a pilot by my grandfather, who flew in the Royal Australian Air Force during WW2. After completing my flight training in cold, rainy Melbourne, I moved to the far north of Australia and flew from a small island in the most remote parts of the hot and tropical Northern Territory, serving the local indigenous community by flying them in and out of their remote bush communities.
My aviation journey has now led me all the way to Namibia, and I am looking forward to sharing this spectacular landscape with my passengers.
I was born in the coastal town Lüderitz and raised in a small dusty but beautiful town called Rehoboth.
I have always had a very bright imagination and a deep love for adventure, that part of me is the driving factor of my personality and that which keeps me young. on this journey of life, I try to live by this quote ‘’like kites without strings and butterflies without wings my mother taught me to soar with my dreams.’’
I am and have always been curious by nature and aircrafts have fascinated me but never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be part of a team that works behind the scenes. Scenic Air welcomed me with open arms and electric smiles. From my first day at the office, they made me feel like more than a colleague, they made me feel like family.
At Scenic Air our job is to help clients make their dreams a reality with soaring through the Namibian sky, so hop on over and let us charter your next adventure.
Aviation can be a demanding career, but there is truly nothing else like it.
Adventure has always been part of who I am. In 2021, I traveled to my ancestral homeland, the Netherlands, where I explored countless European cities and island destinations. Along the way, I spent plenty of time in airports and on aircrafts – from a KLM Airbus A330, the largest plane I’ve flown on, to the humble C208 Caravan. While cycling through charming streets and towns, I often found myself stopping to watch aircraft soaring overhead. Looking back, it was an early sign of where my journey was headed.
After returning to Namibia and studying sports instructing, I unexpectedly found myself signing up for Cabin Crew Induction training. Soon, I was working aboard the Embraer 145 and 135, driven to provide exceptional service and build strong relationships with both passengers and crew. An office in the sky is hard to beat. Aviation quickly became my most rewarding career choice, and I struggle to imagine myself anywhere else. That passion eventually drew me back to the airport after a period in tourism. Aviation isn’t just a career for me – it is a part of who I am.
Joining Scenic Air has been a privilege. Despite being a small team, we share a strong passion for aviation and a commitment to excellence. Surrounded by experienced leaders and dedicated colleagues, I continue to learn every day. As a Charter Coordinator, I have gained valuable insight into the behind-the-scenes work that keeps flights moving safely and efficiently. From tracking aircraft and assisting pilots to coordinating lodge airstrips and fuel requirements, every day requires focus, teamwork, and attention to detail.
It is a challenging role ,but seeing a flight take off successfully makes it all worthwhile.
My name is Lourens van Wyk, though most people know me as Leon. Born and raised in Namibia, I am a proud family man and a first-generation aviator.
Aviation has been my passion since childhood. From the very first time I took to the skies, I knew my life would never be the same. In that moment, a dream became a calling. I was determined not only to fly, but to turn that passion into a lifelong career.
There is truly no place like Namibia from above. Its vast, untamed landscapes and raw natural beauty are simply unmatched. Every flight is a reminder of how fortunate I am to experience this extraordinary country from a perspective few get to see.
