Flyafrica Zimbabwe is targeting a late August relaunch of all its services.
The airline had previously aimed to resume services by mid June, but this has since been delayed.
Chairman of Flyafrica Zimbabwe, Cassidy Mugwagwa, says the airline will relaunch all its routes, and will look at expanding and adding more routes later on.
“It’s been a hard slog. We’re working hard to get everything done. We are going to relaunch Flyafrica and offer all the services and routes that passengers knew and loved,” says Mugwagwa.
He says the airline has received its renewed Foreign Operators Permit from the South African government, which will enable it to, once again, offer flights to and from Johannesburg.
It was previously reported that the airline had stated its intention to introduce daily flights between Harare and Johannesburg, and thrice-weekly flights between Bulawayo and Johannesburg when it resumed operations. Flights to Gaborone and Lusaka are also in the pipeline.
The airline has acquired two B737-700s which will be deployed when the airline starts flying again.
