Air Zimbabwe expects the latest move to expand the national flag career’s footprint into the region with flights to Dar es Salaam in Tanzania already on the cards.
“As Air Zimbabwe we are really excited that we are resuming the Harare-Johannesburg flights as a result of extinguishing the debt with South African authorities which shows the great path we have travelled in making sure that the national carrier is part and parcel of the economy’s development drive,” Air Zimbabwe Interim Board Chairperson, Andrew Bvumbe said.
The resumption of the Harare – Johannesburg flight by Air Zimbabwe should be exciting for the tourism industry, describing it as a clear growth strategy for the airline while sustainably supporting economic activities in line with the National Development Strategy One.
