Puma Energy Namibia has taken the Namibia Airports Company (NAC) to the High Court on an urgent basis, demanding immediate access to fuel facilities and operational areas at Eros and Andimba Toivo ya Toivo airports.

The case is set to be heard tomorrow, Tuesday. 

Puma Energy Namibia claims that NAC blocked it from areas used to supply aviation fuel at the two airports. 

In its application, Puma Energy argues that the dispute is primarily about "spoliation",meaning the restoration of access to areas it had previously used.

The company listed aprons, roads, fuel tanks, offices, and pathways as areas from which it seeks immediate possession.

Puma Energy also stressed its operational capacity, including storage for Jet A-1 and Avgas fuel at Eros Airport, and questioned whether a competitor could meet strict operational and quality requirements. 

The Namibia Airports Company responded in an affidavit, denying that Puma Energy has justified the urgency of the matter. 

NAC said Puma Energy received a letter from the company on 12 January 2026 and replied on 18 January, but argued that the applicant was not entitled to assume agreement simply because NAC did not act immediately.

NAC also noted that Puma Energy had been warned about certain deadlines and that prior notices had been shared regarding its continued status as a supplier.

On the operational side, NAC argued that Puma Energy’s claims about capacity and quality were overstated, noting that competitors like Central Oil have storage and logistical arrangements. NAC said the case could raise rights issues beyond immediate possession, but Puma Energy maintains the focus is on regaining access, not ownership or long-term rights.

The High Court is expected to hear the urgent application tomorrow.
