Zimbabwe’s Transport minister, Felix Mhona, says Air Zimbabwe has already recorded strong booking figures for its new Harare–London direct flight. According to the government, 1,479 passengers have booked seats as of the minister’s announcement. Mhona made the remarks after the airline received a 302-seater Airbus A330-300 aircraft at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport.
The government also reported that cargo demand is underway, stating that 30 tonnes of cargo have already been booked for the service. The two reports describing the announcement share the same figures on passenger bookings and cargo, and both frame the update as part of the airline’s preparations for launching the direct route. No additional operational details, such as the exact start date of the flight or the full distribution of bookings, are included in the provided summaries.
