Air Zimbabwe, is set to resumes domestic flights this week after suspending them last week to give way to mandatory modifications.
The national flag carrier is struggling to raise over $40 million owed to workers and faces a ban from using international airports and airspaces of other countries if it fails to meet a three-month International Air Transport Association deadline to comply with global safety standards.
The national airline suspended international flights indefinitely in February after one of its planes was impounded in the UK over a $1,2 million debt accumulated by the airline over a long period.
A week later, AirZim suspended its flights to South Africa to avoid having its planes seized over a $500 000 debt owed to a South African supplier.
