Air Zim domestic flights remain suspended

AIR Zimbabwe board chairman Mr Jonathan Kadzura on Thursday declared that all domestic flights will remain suspended as long as the two 737-200 planes are still grounded.

The national airline grounded three of its Boeing 737-200 series in April after the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe indicated that the planes had passed their design service objective of 20 years and were increasingly becoming expensive to run.

However, the manufacturer (Boeing) gave AirZim the green light to continue flying its 737-200 planes, saying they were fit to fly. Last night, Mr Kadzura said it did not make business sense to service domestic routes with the 767-200 even at full capacity.
