Zambezi Airlines will resume regional flights on Sunday, June 17, 2012. The first flight will depart South Africa’s Oliver Tambo International Airport for Lusaka using one CRJ200 sources from South African Express.
Zambezi Airline’s Country manager for South Africa Michael Mujajati said that the company had resolved all the safety issues which were raised by Zambia Civil Aviation Authority.
Mujajati said maintenance works for the aircraft would be done by South Africa Express at Oliver Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg.
“We feel happy that finally we are back. We have learnt our lessons where we went wrong. We need to make sure we are now back to stay. It’s a 50-seater plane we shall be using being that the plane is cost efficient in terms of fuel,” Mujajati said. “We shall be using a 50-seater plane so that our load factor is 40 passengers. Those days we were carrying 90 passengers, but now we want to start on a small considering that we might have lost half of our market after the suspension.”
