According to the agreement, there will also be air services to camps and lodges within the major tourism hubs in the country for tourist convenience.

“This agreement includes the imminent launch of daily domestic scheduled air services between Victoria Falls, Harare and the major tourist destinations including Hwange, Kariba and Chiredzi.

“Additionally, the agreement includes services to camps and lodges within the environs of these major tourism hubs; on an anticipated per seat basis to service the lodge and camp clientele and drive additional tourism growth in these critical areas,” said the statement.

Flame Lily Hoppa, if successfully implemented and operated could be the game changer in the country’s tourism sector which has seen most tourists having to travel long distances between destinations using the road.

The agreement also comes at a time when Air Zimbabwe has been facing a lot of challenges chief among them lack of a meaningful fleet and other operational challenges.

Also included in the deal are daily regional scheduled air services between Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa and Mozambique.

These flights will initially focus on leveraging the historic tourism links between Zimbabwe and Botswana, obvious geographic positioning and thereby ensuring the inauguration of additional tourism circuit products, by operators and using a platform of integrated flights, services and links provided on the Flame Lily Hoppa.

Flights under Flame Lily Hoppa will be operated using a blend of brand new Cessna Grand Caravan EX operated by Mack Air and Embraer 145 jet aircraft from Air Zimbabwe.

Mack Air and Air Zimbabwe have also committed to supporting and spearheading the upgrade of both Kariba and Hwange Airports, alongside and in co-operation with the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe Tourism Authority and additional key stakeholders; in order to ensure the complete suitability of facilities for the region becoming a world-class safari and recreational destination.

Additional announcements will be made in the coming weeks as these discussions further mature and crystallise.
