Mozambique Airlines (LAM) is set to resume flights to Harare at the end of October amid reports that the airline has expressed keen interest to ply the route.
Report by Bernard Mpofu
Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe general manager David Chawota yesterday told NewsDay that the airline is planning to fly into Zimbabwe after suspending flights at the height of the country’s unprecedented economic meltdown which ended in 2009.
This development came at time most airlines have resumed their flights to Harare. Ironically, the country’s national carrier Air Zimbabwe has been grounded due to a plethora of management glitches and under-funding while the lucrative domestic and international routes it serviced have been taken over by foreign airlines.
“I know that they are planning to resume flights to Harare. We are meeting them today (yesterday) and I should be in a better position to comment by the end of the day,” Chawota said.
According to online media reports, LAM this week issued a statement indicating that the airline was planning to resume flights between the two neighbouring countries by month-end. The reports showed that starting October 31, LAM will fly twice to Harare every Wednesdays and Sundays.
