Fastjet Zimbabwe has today announced a significant increase in flight capacity on the popular Harare to Johannesburg route. During the busy festive season, the Zimbabwean airline will operate three Airbus A320 rotations between Harare and Johannesburg.
The additional flight frequencies and seats are strategically timed to accommodate the peak passenger demand expected during the upcoming festive season. Fastjet Zimbabwe introduced the Airbus A320 to its flying programme in August this year and will operate between Harare and Johannesburg for the festive season. Fastjet Zimbabwe’s A320 aircraft provides customers with an option for a Business Class cabin through the airline’s Business Premium product.
Nunurai Ndawana, fastjet Zimbabwe’s spokesperson, said, “Christmas is our busiest travel period of the year. By operating up to three Airbus A320 flight frequencies between Harare and Johannesburg, we can provide our customers with more seats and flexibility during this festive season and the opportunity to secure their holiday plans smoothly.”
“Harare to Johannesburg is one of the most important routes on our network, and December is when our customers need it most. Seat availability has traditionally been the biggest constraint during the festive peak, so we are deploying the Airbus A320 on the route with up to three return flights a day. On our busiest days, our Embraer ERJ145 fleet will operate alongside the A320, giving customers up to five flights a day between Harare and Johannesburg. That means more seats, more choice of travel times and, for those who want it, our Business Premium cabin. We look forward to welcoming customers on board and helping them reach family and friends this festive season,” commented Donahue Cortes, fastjet Zimbabwe Business Chief Executive Officer and Country Head.
Fastjet Zimbabwe is projecting a busier than usual festive travel season. Customers are encouraged to secure their holiday travel bookings early to ensure they obtain the lowest available fares. Bookings are available on the airline’s website fastjet.com, airline ticket sales offices, travel agents and other booking platforms.
