FASTJET ZIMBABWE OPERATES INAUGURAL BULAWAYO TO VICTORIA FALLS FLIGHTS

BULAWAYO, ZIMBABWE |Fastjet Zimbabwe has today, the 08th of August 2025, successfully operated the inaugural Bulawayo to Victoria Falls flight, connecting Zimbabwe’s industrial hub to Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, with scheduled flights available Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

Fastjet deployed an Embraer ERJ aircraft to service the Bulawayo to Victoria Falls flights. The aircraft type is known to provide the versatility to build a sustainable regional network with the right size capacity while offering customers comfortable seating with generous legroom.

Commenting on the inaugural flight, Bulawayo leading Industrialist, Busisa Moyo, said, “From a business perspective, Bulawayo provides key inputs and manufactured commodities that support households and power the Victoria Falls tourism industry, from vegetables, meat, chemicals, foodstuffs and human capital. Victoria Falls is also a gateway into Zambia, where various commodities are exported by Zimbabwean businesses and farmers. This flight has made the movement of such services and business travellers easier while providing the Bulawayo residents with a reliable flight option to Victoria Falls for leisure”.

“We are excited about the collaborative efforts between Fastjet Zimbabwe, the Airports Company of Zimbabwe, the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority (ZTA), and the Bulawayo community to introduce the long-awaited Bulawayo to Victoria Falls route. It’s always motivating to see the results of our route development initiatives come to fruition. This flight will contribute immensely to the growth of national tourism”, remarked Tawanda Gusha, Chief Executive Officer, Airports Company of Zimbabwe (Pvt) LTD.

Vivian Ruwuya, fastjet Zimbabwe Chief Commercial Officer, added, “Bulawayo and Victoria Falls just got closer to each other. Our fastjet flights have made it possible for these two iconic destinations to be more accessible for both leisure and business travellers.
