Back to 51 flights weekly from January
These move to daylight flights from Dec departing
1315 two weekly to LUN and two separately to HRE, so it’s still a two aircraft operation with lots of gaps available in downtime
We have gone from 61 flights per week to 31
I wonder if we will get an RNS to say one E190 returned to owner or re deployed to another base?,
The Tanzanian schedule is reduced right through into next year
Whilst ATCL and Precision are expanding, we have from 1ST retracted by 50%
Nico continues to keep his shareholders in the dark.
Oilguy, indeed you are correct, it’s actually looking like a one E190 operation for September
2x Mwanza
1x Mbeya
1Jro
Three weekly overnight LUN HRE
Good to see the 0600 DAR Mwanza flight re instated, however looks like its 3 daily for the forseable
They will still be able to do 3 x JRO weekly on 787 initially
Buxton, indeed they are, you could argue Fastjet shareholders subsidised it’s passengers in the past, my concern now is our cash positive projections will be again blown out the sky so to speak, every time we on the cusp of getting there we get hit with new problem, at least 787 will be heading off the Mwanza once it starts longhaul , but I’m hearing it will still be able to maintain the JRO within its longhaul schedule initially.
All in all not looking good in TZ
I very much doubt ATR72 will be adding to TZ fleet unless they replace E190,s which could go to Zimbabwe, or even a further delay and eventually deployed to SA
This route is currently a blood bath and I’m sure all three carriers are loosing money .
ATCL 500 seats a day
Fjet reduced from 400 to 200 daily (2 flights)
Precision offering 150.000 Shillings one way until Dec

Full 787 flight magufuli supporting ATCL
I would agree, ATCL B787 has severely impacted on our Mwanza route , can’t be enough to go around and Fastjet have responded rapidly with a reduced schedule, so what will we do with three ATR aircraft?
It’s tonight, Sunday is to be the additional 4Th service when it kicks in November
Just one Aircraft for tomorrow, certainly reduced operations
for Monday.
2 x MWA
1 x Mbeya
1 x JRO
HRE LUN
Reduced from 4 too 3 daily, JRO increased from 2 to 3 twice weekly
When the three ATR 78 seater aircraft are cleared for commercial flights has Fastjet plans to increase frequencies on key domestic routes while suggestions have been made that the airline may add further flights to Lusaka and Harare and resume Dar es Salaam to Johannesburg services using the Embraer E190’s.
As reported here earlier in the week has Fastjet also responded to market demands and introduced one free checked bag of up to 23 kilograms while offering refreshments on board for passengers. In both cases can travelers continue to purchase additional baggage allowances and also buy additional snacks and drinks on board.
capacity as the carrier's sole shareholder, the Zimbabwean Government has moved to dissolve Air Zimbabwe's board replacing it with Grant Thornton Chartered Accountants who will act as caretaker administrators.
According to NewsDay, Minister for Transport and Infrastructural Development, Joram Gumbo, said the decision was taken after the Ministry of Finance had warned it would not be possible to roll-over the Air Zimbabwe Corporation (Repeal) Act which was repealed on August 1, 2018.
Air Zimbabwe’s acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Joseph Makonise had requested the act be extended to 2020 only for the Ministry of Finance to reject it on the grounds that the airline had failed to both restructure its operations and adhere to a turnaround strategy resulting in its progression from technical insolvency to factual insolvency. The carrier's total debt overhang is estimated to stand at around USD320 million.
As it stands, management for Air Zimbabwe (Pvt) Ltd and Air Zimbabwe Holdings (Pvt) Ltd shall remain in place, but answerable to Grant Thornton Chartered Accountants, who in turn will report to the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Transport.
Air Zimbabwe's sacked board had been comprised of chairwoman Chipo Dyanda, her deputy Pathias Chironga, and members Pascal Changunda, Lyton Shumba, Fulton Mangwanya, and Dacl-Ray Rambanapasi.
The Ministry of Justice had earlier sought to appoint three airline employees to the position of administrator only for the Transport Ministry to move for a more independent, outside option.
As part of his election bid, President Emmerson Mnangagwa vowed to fight corruption and privatize Zimbabwe's largely bankrupt state-owned enterprises, among which is Air Zimbabwe.
