Cheap flights to Zimbabwe –a landlocked country
Monday, December 21, 2009 6:39On 18th April, 1980 Africa saw one of its greatest historic event, when British colonization gave independence to Zimbabwe ceremonially. Zimbabwe, formerly known as "Republic of Rhodesia" has capital city "Harare", which is a hub to many international arrivals each single day. During the peak seasons, as in December or July, Hare Airport becomes one of the busiest airports in the African Continent. The reason is not only the arrival of Zimbabwean natives scattered round the world and especially UK, but also a large number of tourists and bag packers also visit Harare due to its significant "Victoria Falls"
Another reason for being a central attraction for many international arrivals is the fact that Harare is a "landlocked country". Where this might be a set back for beach lovers, it is also an advantage for the natives as they can not only get flights direct to Harare but also various cheap connections are available from the neighboring countries. Zimbabwe is surrounded by South Africa to the south, Zambia to the northwest, Mozambique to the east and north. The Zambezi River forms the natural boundary with Zambia and when in full flood during the month of February-April the massive Victoria Falls on the river forms the world’s largest curtain of falling water. The Victoria Falls are a major tourist attraction. Once known as the "Breadbasket of Africa", since 2000 Zimbabwe has undergone an economic collapse.
The country’s national flagship carrier, Air Zimbabwe is the only direct flight to Harare and beside the collapse of economy, the airline unlike other flagship carriers of African Continent, has continued its operations steadily. There had been rumors though, as there were schedule changes and some flight delays that the country is at verge of losing its flagship carrier. Yet, the airline managed to make its way out of the turmoil and still operates proudly is the only choice as the cheapest direct flight to Harare. Air Zimbabwe is also the first choice to fly to Bulawayo and other domestic connections are available at the cheapest rates. The major cause why air Zimbabwe is the cheapest is the competitor it self. The competitor in domestic flights, “South African Airways” is the most expensive airline and stands in the first row with KLM, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic. The rates are so high usually that Air Zimbabwe easily soars through and gets good business in domestic flights.
In international flights, having the big advantage of being a landlocked country counts again. As connecting flight through Johannesburg and even some land journeys from neighboring countries are available at fairly low prices. The only hindrance in making a good connection and buying a cheap flight is to get a good agent who can make some good connections or sells Air Zimbabwe as a GSA on Gross rates. It is obviously necessary, where connections are required. As only agents do connections and not the airlines directly.
