AIR Zimbabwe has restored normal operations on its recently relaunched Harare-London route following last week’s disruption that resulted in the cancellation and rescheduling of a flight.
The national carrier confirmed yesterday that all flights are now operating according to schedule after Flight UM724, which was due to depart Harare for London on Friday night, was cancelled for operational reasons and rescheduled to the following day.
The flight eventually departed Harare on August 1 at around 9pm and arrived in London on August 2 at about 6am. The return service left London later that morning and arrived in Harare the same day.
In a statement, Air Zimbabwe advised its “passengers and stakeholders that normal flight scheduling has been restored”.
“All Air Zimbabwe flights are operating as scheduled. Tonight’s (yesterday) departure to London will operate on schedule.
“Passengers travelling on Flight UM724 should proceed with their travel plans as planned and present themselves for check-in three hours before departure,” said the company.
Air Zimbabwe said it remained committed to building a safe, reliable, and efficient Harare-London service that meets the expectations of passengers and serves the country’s broader economic and strategic interests.
A one-way ticket to London starts from US$720 (or £689), while return fares range from US$1 412 (or £1 056).
