The award‑winning airline will operate the service four times a week – on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays – using its Embraer regional jet fleet. The aircraft type is known for offering a smooth and comfortable travel experience, well suited to regional routes.
“This new Bulawayo to Victoria Falls flight strengthens our presence in Bulawayo and underscores our commitment to the development of the tourism region,” said Nunurai Ndawana, the airline’s spokesperson.
“Our four-times-a-week flights will offer more travel opportunities and support both leisure and corporate travel between the two cities, reaffirming our position as a key airline partner in connecting the Matabeleland region.”
Fastjet Zimbabwe Chief Commercial Officer, Vivian Ruwuya, described the new route as the result of extensive industry collaboration.
“This has been a long time coming. We have been monitoring the development and traffic trends between the manufacturing city of Bulawayo and our tourism hub of Victoria Falls. The introduction of a scheduled service is a result of widespread consultative engagements and collaboration with key players in the industry,” she said.
The new route is expected to provide a convenient connection between Zimbabwe’s second‑largest city and one of the country’s most prominent tourism destinations, enhancing both business and leisure travel.
