LOW-COST carrier, flyafrica
Zimbabwe, says it will
open sales for its HarareJohannesburg
flights on
March 5 and commence the
flights on March 26.
Earlier this year, the carrier
said it would resume the
route in February. After its
Harare-Johannesburg route
ceased in 2015, it invested
R85m into its operations
last year and has been
planning to relaunch the
route since.
Cheryllynn Watson,
spokesperson for flyafrica
Zimbabwe, told TNW that
the further delay was due to
the airline having to renew
all its agreements with the
Reserve Bank in Zimbabwe
to ensure it met foreign
exchange restrictions.
“There are foreign
exchange restrictions
with remitting money in
Zimbabwe. Some airlines
are caught with funds here
and cannot get them out of
the country to pay foreign
bills.” She said the airline
had to ensure that it would
not find itself in a position
where it was limited due to
inability to remit payments.
TNW will keep readers
updated on this story.
