AFRICAN carrier, fastjet, is looking at
launching flights between Cape Town
and Victoria Falls.
Richard Bodin, fastjet coo, told
TNW the route was still in the
early phases and flights would be
launched in the fourth quarter of this
year at the earliest, although a later
date was foreseeable.
According to Richard, the airline’s
routes from Johannesburg to
Zimbabwe continue to see growth,
especially its flights to Victoria
Falls. The airline flies a doubledaily
service to Harare and to
Victoria Falls three times a week. It
also services Dar es Salaam and
Zanzibar in Tanzania.
However, Richard pointed out that,
despite strong passenger demand, a
strong dollar had negatively affected
the airline’s revenue. As a result, it
had trimmed down frequencies on
marginal routes and there would be
little in the way of new routes until
next year, said Richard. He added
that there were other destinations
the airline was contemplating for
new routes, but declined to give
details on these
