Local airline fastjet Zimbabwe has announced the introduction of an additional afternoon flight between Victoria Falls and Johannesburg, as part of efforts to enhance connectivity and improve travel flexibility for tourists.
The new service is set to commence on April 18, coinciding with Zimbabwe Independence Day, before expanding into a daily flight from April 28.
Speaking in Victoria Falls, fastjet Zimbabwe spokesperson Nunurai Ndawana said the additional flight is aimed at improving convenience for travellers visiting one of the region's top tourist destinations.
"We are delighted to announce the introduction of an additional afternoon flight between our tourism hub of Victoria Falls to Johannesburg, South Africa. This service will commence on the 18th of April growing into a daily service from the 28th of April," he said.
"The afternoon flight will provide tourists with added flexibility in their travel while enjoying the Victoria Falls experience more."
The airline currently connects Victoria Falls to key destinations including Bulawayo, Harare, Kruger Mpumalanga, and Johannesburg, forming part of its strategy to facilitate seamless regional tourism and business travel.
The launch also reflects fastjet's continued expansion following its 10th anniversary celebrations in October 2025, reinforcing its positioning as a leading homegrown airline in Zimbabwe.
Victoria Falls remains one of Southern Africa's premier tourism destinations, attracting visitors from across the globe. Zimbabwe was recently recognised as a top travel destination, reflecting renewed momentum in the country's tourism sector.
Industry stakeholders say improved air connectivity is critical to sustaining growth, with additional flights expected to enhance accessibility, increase tourist arrivals, and support the broader hospitality industry.
The new route is expected to further strengthen travel links between Zimbabwe and South Africa, one of its key tourism source markets.
