Fastjet Zimbabwe has opened its additional domestic routes, to Kariba and Hwange National Park.
The Zimbabwean carrier announced that the routes were operational on Tuesday, April 4. This brings the domestic destinations that the airline now operates in Zimbabwe to five.
The flights to Kariba and Hwange National Park are part of the airline’s domestic route development strategy aimed at improving air connectivity in Zimbabwe. The flights will be operated by a 30-seater Embraer EMB120.
“We are incredibly excited to expand our footprint along the Zambezi Basin”, said Nunurai Ndawana Fastjet Zimbabwe spokesman, adding that these scheduled flights would be a catalyst for an increase in the arrival of tourists to the resorts in the area. “The joint launch of these flights demonstrates our commitment and contribution to the Zimbabwean economy,” he said.

Through our network of flights, Kariba and Hwange National Park are now connected to Johannesburg with scheduled flights through our tourism hub of Victoria Falls”, he added.

Both destinations are known for their diverse landscapes and season-long sunshine and abundant wildlife. Fastjet is delighted to make these connections and experiences possible” concluded Vivian Ruwuya.
