Air Zimbabwe yesterday reportedly took delivery of one of the four Airbus planes that are expected to shore up its operations and assist in reviving its sagging fortunes.
The commercial passenger jet landed at Harare International Airport on Tuesday morning where Transport, Communication and Infrastructure Development Minister Nicholas Goche and Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) director-general Happyton Bonyongwe accepted it on behalf of the Zimbabwean government.
The aircraft is now parked in the Air Zimbabwe hangar at Harare International Airport, where insiders at the state-run airline said it will be painted with the national flag carrier's colours.
It is understood the aircraft will be unveiled soon.
Air Zimbabwe board chairperson Jonathan Kadzura yesterday refused to confirm the arrival of one of the Airbuses referring questions to acting chief executive officer Innocent Mavhunga, who was also reticent over the issue.
