Hardly a week after struggling national airline, Air Zimbabwe flew three passengers to South Africa last Saturday from Harare, the airliner reportedly cruised with five passengers to Victoria Falls.

The flight was presumably from Harare, a Harare based business reporter with Alpha Media Holdings,Ndamu Sandu twitter around 4 pm this Wednesday.

"So this AirZim Airbus cruised to #VictoriaFalls with 5 passengers..." he posted on his official account @ndamulan.

This is not the first time that Air Zimbabwe has broken aviation records, for the wrong reasons.

In 2015, the airline flew one passenger from Johannesburg in a 105-seater 737 plane.

In September 2011, the airline again flew one passenger from Victoria Falls to Harare. In 2006, the troubled airline also flew one passenger from Dubai to Harare.

In 2012, a captain and a senior flight attendant were suspended after the airline flew in more passengers than the required 105 on the Boeing 737 aircraft.
