The Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development, Felix Mhona, has appointed former TelOne Managing Director, Chipo Mtasa, as the Chairperson of the Air Zimbabwe board.
Her appointment came into effect February 6 2023.
In a statement, Transport minister Felix Mhona said Mtasa’s mandate is to lead the national airline’s six-year turnaround strategy.
“The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development, Honourable Felix Mhona wishes to advise members of the public and all stakeholders in the aviation sector that His Excellency, the President of Zimbabwe, Emmerson Mnangagwa has approved the appointment of Dr Chipo Mtasa as the chairperson of the Air Zimbabwe (Pvt) Ltd board,” he said.
“I wish Mtasa and her team great success as they lead Air Zimbabwe’s recovery process through implementation of the Air Zimbabwe 6-year Strategic Turnaround Plan with the view to develop a dependable airline,” Minister Mhona said.
Mtasa is renowned for the role she played in turning around TelOne as its Chief Executive Officer. She took the reigns at TelOne when it was almost a forgotten entity owing to the emergence of mobile phones, when its mainstay was provision of landline services.
She turned it around to position it as a significant player in the data provision service. At the time of her departure, she was working on a project of replacing copper infrastructure in the TelOne network to manage the damage caused by vandalism.
