Zimbabwe's flag carrier, Air Zimbabwe, has announced the resumption of flights to South Africa. Effective 16 June 2021, the airline will resume a direct service between RG Mugabe International Airport (HRE) in Harare and OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg.
Air Zimbabwe will initially operate four weekly return flights every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday on board an Embraer ERJ145 to Johannesburg.
