AWARD-WINNING low-cost carrier, Fastjet Zimbabwe, has been appointed the official airline partner for the 2026 Agricultural Dealers and Manufacturers Association (ADMA) Agricultural Show, boosting regional connectivity for the country’s premier agribusiness event.
The major trade showcase and exhibition is scheduled to run from June 4 to June 6, 2026, in Pomona, Harare.
Under the partnership, Fastjet will facilitate travel for local and international exhibitors, delegates, farmers, and stakeholders flying into the capital from key domestic and regional destinations, including Bulawayo, Victoria Falls and Johannesburg.
The annual ADMA exhibition is widely regarded as one of Africa’s leading agricultural platforms. It brings together farmers, equipment manufacturers, suppliers, and policymakers to showcase innovation, exchange knowledge, and drive growth within Zimbabwe’s diverse agricultural sector.
Fastjet Zimbabwe spokesperson, Mr Nunurai Ndawana, expressed delight over the partnership, emphasising the critical role agriculture plays in the national economy.
“Agriculture remains a cornerstone of Zimbabwe’s growing economy, and we are proud to support an event that connects farmers, innovators, and industry leaders,” Mr Ndawana said. “Our services between Harare, Bulawayo, Victoria Falls, and Johannesburg will help make travel easier and more accessible for all participants attending ADMA.”
The 2026 fixture marks a significant milestone for both entities, as both Fastjet Zimbabwe and ADMA are celebrating 10 years of operations and meaningful contributions to the Zimbabwean economy.
Fastjet Zimbabwe Business CEO and Country Head, Mr Donahue Cortes, said strategic partnerships are vital for sustaining national food security and economic productivity.
“As a Zimbabwean airline, we understand the importance of seamless connectivity for people, cargo, and agricultural value chains that support trade, investment, and productivity,” Mr Cortes said. “Together with ADMA, we look forward to strengthening industry collaboration, improving accessibility, and supporting the continued advancement of Zimbabwe’s agricultural and business communities.”
ADMA Agri Show Operations Manager, Mr David Davies, welcomed the aviation partnership, describing it as a natural fit for regional business integration.
“Fastjet Zimbabwe has consistently demonstrated its value as a reliable partner for business travel, providing an efficient regional network that enhances connectivity for Zimbabwe’s agricultural community,” Mr Davies said.
