Top aircraft launched to ply local, regional routes

Rainbow Airlines' new 50-seater Bombardier CRJ100 aircraft landed at Harare International Airport yesterday, where it is expected to start servicing the Harare-Johannesburg and Harare-Victoria Falls routes.

The airline's chief executive officer, Ed Berry said they were expecting to get a second CRJ100 aircraft within the first four months of operation, to assist in servicing increased routes and frequencies.  

The aircraft comes at a time Air Zimbabwe is struggling to service most of its domestic and regional routes due to financial challenges.

GMRI Capital structured, for Rainbow Airlines, equity and capital injection deal, as it predicted a great future for the aviation industry in Zimbabwe.
