We Are Still Accepting All Forms Of Payment Including EcoCash - Air Zimbabwe
National airline Air Zimbabwe has dismissed reports that it has stopped accepting Bond Notes and real-time gross settlement (RTGS) transfers in favour of United States Dollars only. Speaking to 263Chat, Air Zimbabwe Public Relations Officer, Milcah Chikarakate,
The message circulating on social media is not true, l think when you look at the bottom of the message it’s actually written that it’s from Air Zimbabwe board and management and as you are aware we don’t have a board at the moment so the message is not from us. The message is fake we don’t know where it came from, we are accepting all forms of payment including Eco Cash and prices are still the same.
The message comes at a time when rates for foreign currency have been skyrocketing on the parallel market. British Airways has announced that it will only be accepting Credit Cards as a means of payment.
Air Zimbabwe later released a statement saying,
Air Zimbabwe would like to advise that it has not published the statement currently in circulation on social media platforms regarding exclusive foreign currency transactions.
The Airline continues to trade in accordance with approved regulations in line with the multi-currency regime. However, we are in continuous engagement with Shareholder and RBZ as regards current economic situation with a view to establish a sustainable position for our operations.
Likewise, any further developments or changes will be communicated accordingly. We remain committed to serve
