Air Zimbabwe Pvt Ltd has secured an A320 airbus for leasing as Government intensified efforts to revive the fortunes of the national airline.
Last week Air Zimbabwe took delivery of the aircraft just before the government dissolved Air Zimbabwe Holdings and formed a new State-owned company, Air Zimbabwe Pvt Ltd. The transport minister said the new A320 would be part of Air Zimbabwe's regional fleet and that Air Zimbabwe's old aircraft may not be part of the regional and international fleet as they will service local routes. He also stated that Air Zimbabwe would not introduce new routes when it resumes its flights.
The Zimbabwe transport minister also said several international airlines were keen to come to Zimbabwe, adding that Air Namibia would resume its flights to Harare next month. Emirates, which started flying to Harare last month is reported to be pleased with progress. It has also been reported that Precision Air of Tanzania is visiting the country this week for consultations with a view to starting a Harare to Dar es Salaam route with a 737.
