“Zimbabwe and Zambia have a symbiotic relationship that cuts across multiple sectors. The introduction of this route attests to our commitment and contribution to further economic and social development of the Zim-Zam region. For ten years fastjet Zimbabwe has been a proud part of the Zimbabwean community and we are delighted to expand our commitment to Lusaka,” Fastjet Zimbabwe spokesperson Nunurai Ndawana said, per a press release.
The introduction of this service is significant since it is Fastjet’s first Zambian route. The airline currently operates flights within Zimbabwe and between Zimbabwe and South Africa.
