Fastjet supports tourism growth in Zimbabwe
Leonard Ncube, [email protected]
LOW-COST airline, Fastjet Zimbabwe has said the new routes and services it has constantly added to its package of services have significantly contributed to the country’s tourism industry growth.
Fastjet recently launched a morning flight between Bulawayo and Johannesburg, in addition to the Harare-Kariba-Hwange routes also recently introduced.
The airline has, therefore, helped link major tourism and business destinations locally and in the region, introducing a rate one-day trip that allows people to travel and return on the same day after doing business.
In an interview in Victoria Falls, Fastjet spokesperson Mr Nunurai Ndawana said all developments by the airline are aimed at contributing to tourism.
He was speaking after attending the Communication, Media and Tourism Training in Africa Workshop conducted by the United Nations World Tourism Organisation recently in Victoria Falls.
“As Fastjet, we continue to be committed to the Zimbabwean market and over the past few months we have invested in Kariba and Hwange markets, and recently in Bulawayo, we added a daily delight service. We introduced new flights from Harare to Kariba and Hwange connecting these new domestic destinations to Harare and Victoria Falls. This has gone a long way in promoting tourism in that market.
“Right now tourists from Victoria Falls can fly to Hwange and proceed up to Kariba and the same in Harare to Kariba and Hwange. This has contributed a lot to tourism and as we are moving into the festive season, we have put in a number of flights as part of our schedule to ensure that when people travel for their holidays at the end of the year they have options to explore Zimbabwe,” said Mr Ndawana.
He said the volumes are encouraging and what the airline has started doing is to ensure that based on the demand, it provides adequate options so that people will have a choice to take up when they travel.
Within Zimbabwean, Fastjet services ply five domestic routes which are Harare, Bulawayo, Victoria Falls, Kariba, and Hwange, and the routes are designed to support commerce, trade, and leisure travel.
Regionally there are flights to Johannesburg and Kruger National Park with Johannesburg linked with three destinations Harare, Bulawayo, and Victoria Falls.
“Recently in Bulawayo, we added a morning flight which is available daily on Mondays to Fridays between Bulawayo and Johannesburg providing the market with the needed flexibility, choice, and value. For the first time in a long time, we now have the option of a day trip that supports leisure and business where someone can wake up in the morning go and have business, and come back home on the same day. This is part of our effort to ensure that we support tourism in Zimbabwe and beyond,” he said.

FlyNamibia adds Zimbabwe route
FlyNamibia has announced it will, from April next year, launch flights between Windhoek and Victoria Falls to operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays between Hosea Kutako International Airport and Victoria Falls International Airport.
The new route is a key element in Zimbabwe’s regional network expansion strategy, FlyNamibia managing director Andre Compion said.
It will also enhance regional connectivity, promote tourism within Namibia and position Windhoek as an alternative gateway to the region.
FlyNamibia’s partnership with Airlink will give it access to the GDS, which will allow it to promote its new flights and packages to markets that were previously beyond reach. The airline is also planning to unveil new routes to Botswana and Angola in the future.
The new flights will effectively more than triple FlyNamibia’s current schedule of regional flights. Compion also revealed that the airline was entering the final phase of preparations for the introduction of flights to Luanda, Angola.
FlyNamibia is a Namibian private airline that mostly plies domestic routes from Eros Airport in Windhoek to Ondangwa, Rundu, Katima Mulilo, Lüderitz, and Oranjemund.
The airline also has a regional route between Hosea Kutako International Airport and Cape Town International Airport. The airline recently became a member of IATA.
This membership will give FlyNamibia access to a number of benefits, including global recognition and acceptance, access to IATA’s global network of airlines and travel agents, and support with marketing and sales.— Business Weekly
