Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Air Zimbabwe is promoting more domestic routes as it seeks to expand its operations, the airline\u2019s spokesperson, Firstme Vitori, has said.<\/p>\n

The airline, which currently uses a Boeing 737-200 and ERJ145 on its domestic and regional routes, is expected to take delivery of a second Embraer (ERJ145) soon.<\/p>\n

Key to Air Zimbabwe\u2019s six-year strategic turnaround plan (STP) is the procurement and deployment of appropriate equipment for the current and planned route network, as well as a fleet commonality for the containment of maintenance and operational costs.<\/p>\n

Vitori said the easing of travel restrictions by the government last year resulted in a significant increase in load factors to an average of around 55%, combining the B737 with ERJ145 aircraft. Said Vitori:<\/p>\n

The deluge of corporate, and social conferences and events in Bulawayo and Victoria Falls saw us operating a lot of commercial charter flights with both aircraft.<\/p>\n

During the peak season, we also added frequencies to our domestic routes up to two flights a day.<\/p>\n

She said regionally, Air Zimbabwe services Johannesburg, South Africa, with flights every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.<\/p>\n

Air Zimbabwe flights to Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, are available every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Said Vitori:<\/p>\n

Passengers in this sector are mostly business traders, and they enjoy a free baggage allowance of up to 60kg.<\/p>\n

She said Air Zimbabwe is also working on increasing frequencies on the current route network for both domestic and regional destinations.<\/p>\n
