FASTJET TO FLY TO ZIMBABWE

African low-cost airline fastjet recently announced that it was set to launch its third cross-border route from its home base of Tanzania, with flights to Zimbabwe set to start in August.

The airline initially started flying within Tanzania, but has launched routes to Johannesburg in South Africa and to Lusaka in Zambia.

In a statement issued on June 23rd, fastjet said it will launch a twice weekly flights from Dar es Salaam in Tanzania to Harare in Zimbabwe, with advance tickets available from Monday for as low as USD 50 plus charges and taxes.

This new route, which will connect Dar es Salaam with the capital city of Zimbabwe, Harare will be a 2.5 hr flight. Zimbabwe is a beautiful destination to visit for safaris, holidays, business and more.

"Despite strong commercial and cultural ties between the two cities, there is currently no direct air link between Dar es Salaam and Harare. The port at Dar es Salaam is used extensively by Zimbabwean traders and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and Zanzibar to the east of Tanzania are popular tourist destinations," fastjet said.
