PASSENGERS flying to Bulawayo from Harare on Sunday had a nightmarish flight after the Air Zimbabwe plane failed to land at Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo International Airport due to non-functioning navigation equipment and bad weather.
The plane was forced to return to Harare.

According to reports, the captain announced that the plane would not land due to bad weather and non-functioning equipment.

This happened on flight UM331 that left Harare for Bulawayo at 7am.

The plane only made it on the second trip.

The plane had to fly back to Harare, the passengers disembarked and had to wait for an hour before we started the journey again, this time landing safely.

There was no immediate comment from Air Zimbabwe.

This is not the first time that the airline has failed to land in the recent past. The issues have always been related to visibility and failed navigation systems.
