Fly Africa Commercial Airline Update
Fly Africa Commercial Airline Update – Following a fall out between its two shareholders last week, Zimbabwe flyafrica (Z7, Harare Int’l) has continued to suffer serious disruptions to its operations despite assurances that service would return to normal before the end of last week.
The airline’s troubles began on Wednesday, October 28 when its Zimbabwean partner and majority shareholder, Chakanyuka Karase, surrendered its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) to the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe (CAAZ). CAAZ subsequently grounded the airline questioning its ability to continue providing safe, commercial services amidst a shareholders’ dispute.
Though it had promised to resume normal operations by Thursday, October 29, flyafrica says it is still in talks with CAAZ with a view to relaunching normal flights by Thursday, November 5.
“Although constructive dialogue is underway with CAAZ, rather than create continued uncertainty for flyafrica Zimbabwe’s customers booked on flights over the next few days on whether flights will operate or not, the airline has taken the difficult decision to suspend all flights for this period to allow time for resolution between the airline and CAAZ,” it said.
