Fastjet Extends Wings To Mpumalanga

Fastjet Zimbabwe, Wednesday launched flights from Victoria Falls to Mbombela Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport in South Africa in an effort to increase tourism travel.

The new scheduled service route will operate three (3) times a week on a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Providing a boost for tourism between the two countries, the new direct flight will be a seamless connection for travellers on the safari circuit, effectively linking the Lowveld lodges in and around the Kruger National Park, directly with Victoria Falls, another of Southern Africa’s greatest tourism attractions.

Fastjet will operate the service using the airline’s 50-seater Embraer ERJ145 aircraft. This aircraft type is known to provide the versatility to build a sustainable regional network with the right-size capacity while offering customers comfortable seating with generous legroom.
