A $100.91 ONE WAY leading fare on DAR Mwanza would suggest otherwise Marksman

The Harare direct first one this evening goes onto LUN, I’m sure that from now on ATCL will get whatever they desire,and I’m hearing Fjet have no chance of JNB from DAR that’s for ATCL A220.
It was inevitable that Fjet had to do this at this time, just tried dummy booking and 123 people were looking, great response but at $66 one way domestic that break even point is further away
The extra flights on this route which takes us to four weekly will be routed 2x Dar lun hre, 2 x Dar hre lun, this keeps the aspiration of Fjet wishing to obtain LUN HRE/ HRE LUN passenger rights a reality.
SOLD OUT ahead of its inaugural flight 29Th July

BUDGET airline fastjet says it wants to play a bigger role in reviving tourism in Matabeleland after launching a Harare-Bulawayo service on Friday.
BY TATIRA ZWINOIRA
The airline, which already has flights between Harare, Victoria Falls and Johannesburg, came in as a direct competitor to Air Zimbabwe, which had monopolised the route for many years.
Bulawayo has so much to offer tourists, business and all other sectors,” fastjet accountable manager Ed Berry told guests at a function to mark the inaugural flight at Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo (JMN) International Airport.
“Fastjet will help you increase the tourism business in this town.
“Mobile phones in Africa have opened up communications across the whole continent so our airline fastjet is going to revolutionise aviation in Zimbabwe.”
Berry said fastjet was looking forward to servicing more domestic routes as it
Fastjet has more than 100 flights a week and we are managing 90% on time performances and we feel fastjet is for businessmen, tourism and for the general public in Bulawayo.
“Fastjet intends to grow further in Zimbabwe as we will be applying for more routes between Harare and Bulawayo.
“We want to start the second flight as soon as possible and move onto a third.”
Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe director of airports Tawanda Guzha said JMN International Airport needed for more flights and fastjet’s decision to add Bulawayo to its destinations was a major boost.
We have been pushing for more flights so that we have more usage of this facility, so it is with great pleasure that I stand here today to be able to welcome fastjet to this airport,” he said.
“For that effort to see the light of day, it is through the policies guided by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural development.”
ATCL for next three months will be flooding the domestic market with the 280 odd seater B787 on domestic routes, namely MWANZA JRO , whilst pilots gain take off / landing experience and training , we need to pull something out of the bag because the local market is very excited, quite rightly at the prospect of experiencing their national carriers spectacular offering. Next three months are going to be tough in TZ

Fastjet, anticipating the early registration of their ATR72’s in Tanzania without any further regulatory mischief and obstacles put in their way, have now put additional departures to Harare on their booking site, effective November this year.
The airline will then fly four times a week from Tanzania’s commercial capital Dar es Salaam to Harare, with two of the flights routing via Lusaka / Zambia.
The additional flights will operate on Sunday and Wednesday, increasing the connectivity between the three cities.
Both Zambia and also Zimbabwe are up and coming tourism destinations with the latter making heavy inroads into the market again after years of stagnation and once the elections in Harare are held and a new elected government is in place are yet more changes expected to take place to spur new tourism developments and increase tourism marketing across Africa and the world.
I agree, however the kigoma was and is intended for E190 Jet, so no basis for having ATR Waiting , I believe a retainer is being paid until they are actually delivered, and I agree that ROUTES should be available before aircraft arrive, WHICH IS WHY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN DELIVERED YET
If you look at November you will see 4 departure weekly that’s eight sectors , four out and four back
4 x weekly, 4 to HRE, two via LUN
