Zimbabwe will probably approve proposals from nine airlines to resume flights to the country, the Zimbabwe Independent reported, citing Annajlia Hungwe, spokeswoman for the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe.
Air France, KLM, Austrian Airlines, Egypt Air, Swiss Air AG, Bulgarian Airlines, Qantas Airways, Emirates Airline and Lufthansa applied to fly to Zimbabwe again, the Harare-based newspaper cited Hungwe as saying on its website.
Eighteen airlines stopped flights to Zimbabwe over the past decade because of a political and economic crisis in the southern African country, the newspaper said. Zimbabwe rejected applications from airlines in South Africa, Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates in 2008, it said.
