Fastjet Zimbabwe has successfully achieved the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) registration.
This registration acknowledges Fastjet’s conformance and adherence to the highest operational and safety standards in the aviation industry.
Commenting on the achievement, Nunurai Ndawana spokesperson for Fastjet Zimbabwe stated:
<blockquote>
Obtaining the IOSA registration is a significant milestone for our company, which is a testament of our commitment to safety and continuous improvement of our operations.
We take great pride in our team, whose expertise and relentless effort have allowed us to meet the rigorous requirements set by IOSA.
</blockquote>
The IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) registration is a globally recognized safety evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline.
The IOSA program aims to improve the safety and operational efficiency of airlines by establishing a consistent set of safety standards.
Airlines undergo a comprehensive audit conducted by IATA-registered auditors. This audit evaluates various operational areas, including flight operations, crew training, maintenance, and organizational structure.
The audit is based on a set of safety standards and recommended practices derived from international regulations and best practices in the aviation industry.
Once an airline successfully completes the IOSA audit, it receives registration, which is valid for two years, after which a renewal audit is required.

Fastjet Zimbabwe has met high safety standards by getting IATA's IOSA registration. This shows they follow safety rules well. A company spokesperson said this is a big achievement and shows their dedication to safety. The IOSA program checks many areas to make airlines safer. It aims to make flights safer for everyone. Airlines must pass an audit to get the registration. This shows they meet global safety standards. The registration is valid for two years and must be renewed. Fastjet Zimbabwe is proud to have achieved this important safety milestone.

Fastjet Zimbabwe Earns IATA's Coveted IOSA Registration

Low-cost airline Fastjet Zimbabwe on Monday, 22 April, announced that its customers could now pay for their flight tickets using the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) currency.
Fastjet Zimbabwe, with routes from and to Johannesburg in South Africa and local routes from Harare to Bulawayo and Victoria Falls, announced the development via its social media pages. It said:
<blockquote>
We now accept ZiG payments for your travel. Book now via the fastjet app.
</blockquote>
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) introduced the ZiG currency on April 5 with businesses, especially supermarkets, recording a huge jump in daily sales.
The currency is backed by gold, which means its value is tied to the precious metal.
Zimbabweans were given 21 days to exchange their old, inflation-affected Zimbabwe dollar banknotes for the new ZiG currency.
However, the US dollar, South African Rand and Botswana Pula account for over 85% of transactions and will continue to be legal tender.
The RBZ’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) has launched a blitz targetting businesses accused of trading exclusively in US dollars and refusing to transact in ZiG. FIU says it has has frozen bank accounts of 11 companies since the launch of ZiG.
However, fuel dealers have been granted permission to sell their products exclusively in forex, and this selective application of rules threatens to erode confidence in ZiG.

Fastjet Accepts Flight Bookings Payments In ZiG

A Fastjet plane flying from Harare was forced to abort landing in Bulawayo Tuesday morning due to foggy weather.
The Embraer ERJ145 aircraft, which was due to touch down at 6.50 am, was forced to turn back to Harare.
Explaining the failed landing, Fastjet spokesman Nunurai Ndawana said: 
<blockquote>
The weather conditions were below the required minimum for a landing.
With safety being our top priority, our standard procedure to divert was put into effect and returned to Harare.
</blockquote>
The aircraft however took off a second time from Harare and landed safely at Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo International Airport shortly after 11 am.
The failed landing caused disruption to dozens of passengers and its own flight schedule.
Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo International Airport manager Passmore Dewa said he was attending a meeting in Harare, but told ZimLive that the incident was a “normal weather problem”.
Airports in Zimbabwe have had some issues due to outdated infrastructure, limited international flights, lack of investment, security concerns, and flight cancellations by some airlines. 
However, the government is taking steps to improve the situation, including upgrading infrastructure and signing agreements to increase international flights.
According to <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/fastjet-plane-aborts-bulawayo-landing-due-to-bad-weather/">ZimLive,</a> Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo Airport in Bulawayo does not have an instrument landing system (ILS) – a navigation tool used by pilots to help guide the plane when landing in low visibility conditions. 
ILS works by sending radio signals to the aircraft, providing both horizontal and vertical guidance to help the pilot align the plane with the runway and control its altitude and descent rate during landing.

Fastjet Zimbabwe has received the first of three Embraer 120, 30-seater planes.
The Embraer 120 aircraft will be used to operate domestic flights from Harare to Kariba and Hwange National Park.
Both the Harare to Hwange and Kariba routes are expected to begin on 27 March 2023.
In a statement, fastjet Zimbabwe spokesperson Nunurai Ndawana said:
<blockquote>
We are delighted to welcome this aircraft to serve our domestic new routes to Kariba and Hwange National Park.
Air connectivity is a key enabler for tourism development, and we continue to demonstrate our commitment to the development of tourism in Zimbabwe and the region.
We are finalising our preparations for the launch of flights to Kariba and Hwange National Park.
The arrival of this aircraft will see us concluding the mandatory regulatory processes in operating flights to these strategic destinations in the development of tourism in Zimbabwe.
In preparation for these route launches the aircraft will operate a series of ad-hoc charter flights around Zimbabwe ahead of the full scheduled launch.

Fastjet Receives Embraer 120 Plane For Domestic Flights

Fastjet Zimbabwe recently announced the intention to commence air services to two new domestic leisure destinations of Kariba and Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe.
Commencing late March 2023, Fastjet is set to introduce its new services from Harare and Victoria Falls to Kariba Airport and Hwange National Park Airport.
These planned additional routes to the airline’s domestic network will offer seamless connections for travellers from Harare and Victoria Falls to Zimbabwe’s top domestic tourism destinations of Kariba and Hwange, with scheduled flight connections using Embraer E120, 30-seater turboprop aircraft. Nunurai Ndawana Fastjet Zimbabwe spokesperson said:
<blockquote>
We continue to demonstrate our commitment to the growth of tourism and the sustainability of air services in the markets we serve. The addition of these leisure destinations will greatly support our vision.
The Embraer E120 is a robust turboprop aircraft designed for domestic operations, offering customers a pressurised cabin with spacious legroom and overhead baggage space.
We intend to align our timings to schedule our flights in such a way that we offer customers the flexibility and convenience of multiple frequencies per day.
</blockquote>
Vivian Ruwuya, Fastjet Zimbabwe’s Chief Commercial Officer, said the new flights will be with onward connections on Mack Air / South West Aviation into the Hwange National Park, among other destinations. Said Ruwuya:
<blockquote>
Working closely with our industry stakeholders and partners, including the Airports Company of Zimbabwe and the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe, we continue to explore ways to further develop the domestic Zimbabwean flight network.
We are delighted to announce that our new flights to Hwange and Kariba from our tourism hub of Victoria Falls and our Harare base, will be supported with onward connections on Mack Air / South West Aviation into the Hwange National Park, the lodges of the Kariba eastern basin and the camps and operations in Mana Pools and the lower Zambezi.
Mack Air with South West Aviation will be developing a new hub at Kariba, along with their existing hubs in Victoria Falls and Harare to support these seamless connections to and from fastjet’s services.
The introduction of flights to Kariba and Hwange now allows visitors in Victoria Falls to explore the wonders of Zimbabwe further by visiting both Hwange National Park and enjoying some time on the lake in Kariba with its varied activities of game viewing, boating and fishing.
</blockquote>
Kariba and Hwange will add to fastjet’s domestic destinations of Harare, Bulawayo, and Victoria Falls, as well as provide straightforward connectivity for international customers flying in from Johannesburg via Victoria Falls to and from Kariba.
The new flights will be available for booking via the Fastjet website, App and usual online trade portals in the coming days.

Fastjet Announces Two New Zimbabwe Routes

Fastjet Zimbabwe Thursday said it would be introducing flights to <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Kariba">Kariba</a> and <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Hwange">Hwange</a> in March 2023 as it accelerates a long-cherished plan to completely network Zimbabwe.
The regional carrier currently services the Harare-Bulawayo route, along with the Harare-<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Victoria_Falls">Victoria Falls</a> one, among its key regional and domestic destinations.
The award-winning airline will be flying from Harare and Victoria Falls to Kariba Airport and Hwange National Park Airport.
In a statement seen by Pindula News, Nunurai Ndawana fastjet Zimbabwe spokesperson said:
<blockquote>
We continue to demonstrate our commitment to the growth of tourism and the sustainability of air services in the markets we serve. The addition of these leisure destinations will greatly support our vision.

The new flights will be available for booking via the fastjet website, App and usual online trade portals in the coming days.
Kariba town, which sits on the east end of the 300km-long Lake Kariba, has been underserved with scheduled flights for many years.
In 2014, Air Zimbabwe returned to the route after abandoning it in 1996 but pulled out within a year.
Early this year, another airline entered the route, but it has since pulled out.
Hwange, another of Zimbabwe’s key tourist destinations, relies mostly on passengers arriving at the nearby Victoria Falls International Airport.
In July, fastjet also introduced flights between Zimbabwe and Botswana to boost tourism in both countries.
This followed another launch in March of a direct flight between Victoria Falls and Mpumalanga in South Africa.

Fastjet Zimbabwe Announce Additional Flights To Hwange And Kariba

Fastjet was recently forced to ground one of its planes after it experienced a bird strike upon landing at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport.
According to a statement by the company’s Corporate Communications department, the incident contributed to the breakdown of flight schedules and travel disruptions experienced in recent days. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
Earlier this week, one of the airline’s aircraft was involved in a bird strike whilst on its approach into Harare, RG Mugabe International Airport, with damage requiring an outsized replacement part that needed specialised shipping to Harare.
The part was fitted yesterday in accordance with the manufacturer’s approved maintenance procedures.
The aircraft has since returned to regular service today operating the airline’s published timetable.
</blockquote>
Fastjet apologised to customers for the inconvenience caused by the crisis. It said:
<blockquote>
… [the] untimely and unforeseeable bird strike event coincided with one of the airline’s other aircraft being in scheduled maintenance which was planned in accordance with the approved maintenance programme.
These two events meant that both aircraft were out of the airline’s operational fleet simultaneously, necessitating changes to the flying programme.
</blockquote>
A bird strike is defined as a collision between a bird and an aircraft that is in flight or on a take-off or landing roll. | <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/2022/11/harare-airport-bird-strike-grounds-fastjet-aircraft/">ZimLive</a>

A FASTJET plane was Wednesday morning forced to make a u-turn to Harare after failing to land at the Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo International Airport in Bulawayo due to power cuts.
<a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/breaking-power-cuts-force-fastjet-to-make-u-turn-in-bulawayo-back-to-harare/">NewZimbabwe.com</a> reports that there was no backup generator available at the airport for the plane to make a safe landing forcing it to return back to Harare.
Fastjet FN 8441’s failure to land is the latest case of disrupted flights attributed to obsolete airport equipment.
Last month, some flights from Harare and South Africa to the Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo International Airport were cancelled for three consecutive days after airport navigation equipment broke down.

Fastjet Adds Another Commercial Aircraft To Zimbabwe

Fastjet Zimbabwe has on Friday hinted that it might be forced to suspend operations at the end of August due to the prevailing business environment.
The airline is at the moment only running limited repatriation flights from South Africa to Zimbabwe, about three times per month. The airline said:
<blockquote>If flight operations do not restart to sustainable levels by the beginning of September or the company is unable to access hard currency from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe through repayment against the company’s historical legacy loans, it will cease to be a going concern.
Therefore, in the event that the company is unable to find alternative solutions before 31 August 2020, then the directors believe the company would be unable to continue trading as a going concern beyond 31 August 2020.</blockquote>
Fastjet wants to resume routine commercial flight operations but requires the permission from the South African and Zimbabwean governments which closed their borders due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The transport and tourism sectors are among the hardest hit by the outbreak of the coronavirus since governments, globally, local and abroad travels were banned.
Stakeholders are urging authorities to find ways to weather the coronavirus storm or find ways to operate during a pandemic.

FastJet Zimbabwe has begun the process of repatriating Zimbabwean citizens from Johannesburg, South Africa, to Harare during this lockdown period.
The airliner has released <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/05/31/fastjet-providing-repatriation-flights-from-johannesburg-to-harare-here-is-how-to-apply/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a statement</a> about its flights with information for those who wish to apply for a flight back to Zimbabwe.
Below is the experience of a Zimbabwean citizen who returned home aboard a FastJet flight a few days ago:
<blockquote>Good morning everyone
Finally back on home soil! Currently sitting in the sun, reflecting on such good fortune 🙌🏾
This is how things happened yesterday, to help guide future flights:
1. All made our way to the Zim Consulate and met with Desire, working with Fastjet. He read our names from a list and we gave him our completed Port Health forms as he made copies for the government and gave us back our copies. Loaded the bus and went to the airport.
Please ensure you use the surgical type masks from the time you arrive at the consulate until you are off the plane in Harare. The cloth masks are disregarded at this point. We got lucky there was someone on the bus with a whole box so those without were covered – teamwork is huge with Zimbos!
2. Arrive at the airport, stay on the bus as they take our luggage outside the bus. Stand by all your bags as the dogs sniff them. Take bags and start heading into the check-in area
3. As you enter the airport doors, officials take your port health form and your passport to check the 2 against each other and take details. Temperature is taken then you head to the check-in point
4. Passport brought back to you while you wait in line, social distancing all the way, check-in luggage. They sanitized the counter after each person checked in. There was a guy whose sole job was to spray spray spray!
5. Head to the boarding gate, social distancing observed throughout, wait to get on the plane. Lovely crew, we sat with seats skipped between us to observe social distancing. Received bottled water, appreciated.
6. In flight, handed a form to complete for the Zim side documenting travel history in the last 3 weeks I think, and such details. On arrival in Harare, the temperature is taken as you walk in.
7. Complete more forms, much the same type of info, and asked where you will be going to quarantine. If going into government, they wrote that on your firm as you check-in past immigration so they can allocate.
8. Collect your luggage and wait for everyone to meet. Officials address with next steps, those with private accommodation arranged are taken to their places. Those in government quarantine – same. I opted for government quarantine and prayed for weeks that it would be manageable -will follow up with comments on this after the process.
9. No actual test was performed at the airport, it was the only temperature. Even upon arrival at government quarantine, no test. We had a Zincat escort ahead of us from the airport, put on a bus. They were expecting us so staff and rooms were ready to receive us.
Gave names and passport numbers, escorted to rooms and dinner was brought to our rooms. Each has their own room and own bathroom, 3 meals a day, wifi and really nice staff and police guarding outside… good fortune!
10. A nurse will come daily to take temperature and check for symptoms. The test I believe on day 8. We can stand on the balcony but masks on all the time and the preference is for us to remain in our rooms. Had a good night’s sleep.
Unsure process with those in private quarantine upon arrival and beyond, but will check in with someone there. It will be over soon!</blockquote>

The move by fastjet Zimbabwe comes as banks have started limiting the usage of the VISA/MasterCard for local transactions and are only allowing them to be used for foreign transactions. Early this month, BancABC told its clients that Visa/MasterCard would no longer be available for local transactions and instead use ZimSwitch-enabled debit cards..
The <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Reserve_Bank_of_Zimbabwe">Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe</a> has not implemented any regulations on the limited use of Visa/MasterCard for local transactions, with banking sources saying the move was the brainchild of the banks to augment efforts by the regulator in stabilising the nostro accounts.
Efforts by NewsDay to reach fastjet Zimbabwe were unsuccessful.
