National carrier Air Zimbabwe will resume direct Harare-London flights end of July – restoring the route after 14 years – using a leased plane from Spanish airline Plus Ultra Líneas Aéreas.
“The Harare–London service will be operated using an Airbus A330-300 aircraft under an Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance (ACMI) wet lease agreement with Spanish carrier Plus Ultra Líneas Aéreas,” Air Zimbabwe said in a statement.
Under the arrangement, Plus Ultra provides the aircraft, flight crew, maintenance, and insurance, while Air Zimbabwe manages ticket sales, passenger services, and the overall commercial operation of the route.
“The service is expected to strengthen tourism, trade, investment and diaspora connectivity while supporting Zimbabwe’s broader economic engagement with the United Kingdom,” Air Zimbabwe said.
The national airline added: “The Harare–London route represents one of the most significant milestones in Air Zimbabwe’s history and reflects the national carrier’s commitment to restoring international connectivity and strengthening Zimbabwe’s links with key global markets,” Air Zimbabwe said.
