Budget airlines Fastjet have announced intention to start servicing two new domestic leisure destinations, Kariba and Hwange National park.
In a statement, Fastjet said they will kick off these flights in March next year from Harare and Victoria Falls to Kariba Airport and Hwange National Park Airport in March next year.
The additional routes to the airline’s domestic network will offer seamless connections for travellers from Harare and Victoria Falls to Zimbabwe’s top domestic tourism destinations of Kariba and Hwange, with scheduled flight connections using Embraer E120, 30-seater turboprop aircraft.
Fastjet Zimbabwe spokesperson Nunurai Ndawana said;
“We continue to demonstrate our commitment to the growth of tourism and the sustainability of air services in the markets we serve. The addition of these leisure destinations will greatly support our vision. The Embraer E120 is a robust turboprop aircraft designed for domestic operations, offering customers a pressurised cabin with spacious legroom and overhead baggage space. We intend to align our timings to schedule our flights in such a way that we offer customers the flexibility and convenience of multiple frequencies per day,” said Ndawana.
The new flights will be with onward connections on Mack Air / South West Aviation into the Hwange National Park, among other destinations.
Fastjet airline continues to explore ways to further develop the domestic Zimbabwean flight network.
The introduction of flights to Kariba and Hwange now allows visitors in Victoria Falls to explore the wonders of Zimbabwe further by visiting both Hwange National Park and enjoying some time on the lake in Kariba with its varied activities of game viewing, boating and fishing.
Kariba and Hwange will add to Fastjet’s domestic destinations of Harare, Bulawayo, and Victoria Falls, as well as provide straightforward connectivity for international customers flying in from Johannesburg via Victoria Falls to and from Kariba.
