Air Zimbabwe has launched its first direct flight between Harare and London Gatwick.
This Harare-London route is being resumed after a 14-year absence.

The company confirmed the schedule with three weekly flights, departing Harare on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with return flights from Gatwick South Terminal on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

Its last direct service to London, in 2012, was operated by Boeing 767 aircraft, which the airline no longer operates.

According to the contract, Plus Ultra provides the aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance, while the flights operate under Air Zimbabwe's own flight code, and the airline retains control of ticket sales and customer relations.
