Fastjet Zimbabwe has introduced a new route that will see it flying from Victoria Falls to Maun in Botswana from June 30 this year.
The new route is scheduled to operate four times a week on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
In a statement on Thursday, Fastjet’s spokesperson Mr Nunurai Ndawana said: “Using our Embraer ERJ145 aircraft, we believe this route will facilitate more travel between these two tourism capitals of Zimbabwe and Botswana.
“This route has for many years been only available by private charter.”
Direct connection between the two destinations is expected to spur tourism development and growth in the region.
Fastjet group chief operating officer Mr Donahue Cortes said Victoria Falls-Maun is the second new route being added onto the airline’s regional network, with flights between Victoria Falls and Nelspruit in South Africa in the pipeline.
“Despite the hard-wearing effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the group remains dedicated to the recovery and growth of tourism in Zimbabwe, South Africa and Botswana, and to bringing further connectivity to the region,” he said.
