New carrier to fly Harare-Jo’burg

ZIMBABWE has welcomed

its newest airline, Rainbow

Airlines, which plans to

launch flights on August

26. It will fly the HarareJohannesburg

route already

serviced by Flyafrica.com,

SAA, BA Comair and

Air Zimbabwe.

Andries Ntjane, deputy

director of licensing and

permits at the South African

Department of Transport,

told TNW the department

had accepted Rainbow’s

application for designation to

fly to South Africa, however

the new airline had yet to

apply for a Foreign Operator’s

Permit. “At the moment, they

have been accepted to fly as

a carrier from another country

but we still need the Foreign

Operator’s Permit,” he said.

The airline’s website also

lists Cape Town, Victoria

falls and Kariba as planned

destinations.
