Air Zimbabwe is set to resume direct flights between Harare and London Gatwick from 1 July 2026, marking the national carrier’s return to the United Kingdom market after a 14-year absence.
The airline is expected to operate the route through an Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance (ACMI) agreement with Spanish carrier Plus Ultra Líneas Aéreas, which will provide the aircraft and operational support.
Air Zimbabwe suspended its London service in 2012 due to financial challenges, fleet constraints and regulatory requirements. Since then, travellers between Zimbabwe and the UK have relied on connecting flights through regional and international hubs.
The restoration of the direct route is expected to improve connectivity for business travellers, students and tourists, while strengthening trade and travel links between Zimbabwe and the United Kingdom.
