ROUTES - Fastjet Mozambique Eyes Return to the Skies With Domestic Flights From Beira

Fastjet Mozambique is a Mozambican low-cost airline based in Maputo, which operated on Mozambique's main domestic routes under the fastjet brand. Fastjet entered the Mozambican market in partnership with Solenta Aviation Mozambique (SAM), which previously specialized in charter flights. 

The airline operated for two years (2017-2019) and now plans to resume services in 2026.

Fastjet Mozambique is preparing to resume domestic flight operations from Beira, with the relaunch planned for the second half of 2026. The initiative is led by Solenta Aviation.

Fastjet Mozambique commences operations

Fastjet Mozambique (Maputo) has commenced operations as of Friday, November 3, offering regular flights from Maputo to each of Beira (2x daily), Nampula (daily), and Tete (4x weekly). Operations are onboard ERJ-145 equipment chartered from Solenta Aviation Mozambique (Maputo).




Aside from incumbent operators LAM - Linhas Aéreas de Moçambique and MEX - Mocambique Expresso, other entrants set to make their domestic Mozambican market debut in the coming months include Ethiopian Airlines, its Malawian Airlines unit, and two other Mozambican operators, TTA - Sociedade de Transporte e Trabalho Aéreo and CFM - Transportes e Trabalhos Aéreos.

The Mozambican government opened up the country's market to foreign cabotage earlier this year in the hopes of improving the sprawling southern African state's connectivity.
