FASTJET Adds Second Route From Zimbabwe To South Africa

Fastjet has added a second route from Zimbabwe to South Africa. In a statement, the airline said:

Fastjet plc (“Fastjet” or “the Group”) is pleased to announce the introduction of its new direct route schedule from Bulawayo in Zimbabwe to Johannesburg in South Africa, starting next month.

Fastjet Zimbabwe will begin flying the new route on 5 December 2019 with 22 scheduled flights per week, including double-daily frequencies Monday to Friday and with a single flight operation on Sunday.

Fastjet Chief Executive Officer Mark Hurst commented on the announcement saying that the development will allow business travellers wanting to leave and return home from either Johannesburg or Bulawayo on the same day, a complete full working day each weekday, offering a unique schedule advantage over today’s existing connectivity.

The new route will complement the airline’s four times daily return service from its hub in Harare, Zimbabwe, to Johannesburg.

Passengers now have an option to connect to multiple global destinations on the services of ticketing airline partners Qatar Airways and Emirates or an airline of their choice.
