SCORES of passengers were left stranded at Harare International Airport yesterday after the Air Zimbabwe flights failed to take off because there was no Jet A1 fuel.
The Harare-Bulawayo-Victoria Falls flight that was scheduled to leave before 0700hrs only took to the skies at around 1400hrs with the Harare-Johannesburg (South Africa) flight leaving an hour later.
On board the Johannesburg flight was the Zimbabwe Under-23 soccer team on its way to South Africa for the African Championship final qualifier, second leg set for Harry Gwala Stadium in Pietermaritzburg tonight.
AirZim public relations manager Shingi Taruvinga-Dhliwayo confirmed the development.
