L OW-COST carrier, flyafrica
Zimbabwe, will relaunch
operations within the next
two weeks.
While launch dates have
not yet been set, the airline
says it will first start daily
return flights from Harare to
Bulawayo to Victoria Falls.
The airline also plans to
launch daily return flights
from HRE to JNB and thriceweekly
return flights from
Bulawayo to Johannesburg
once its Foreign Operators
Permit is renewed in mid-July.
Thereafter, the airline plans to
increase its HRE-JNB flights to
a double-daily service. Flights
to Gaborone and Lusaka are
also in the pipeline.
Cassidy Mugwagwa,
chairperson of flyafrica
Zim, says his company has
invested R85m ($6.6m) into
the airline’s operations in
anticipation of the relaunch.
The airline has acquired
two B737-700s which
are currently undergoing
pre-delivery maintenance
checks. The airline has also
established offices at Harare
International Airport, he says.
In December, flyafrica
Zim announced plans to
partner with a SA carrier
on its HRE-JNB route (see
TNW December 14, 2016).
Cassidy said details on this
partnership and the airline’s
new ceo would be announced
after the relaunch.
