After months of regulatory uncertainty, Solenta Aviation Mozambique has secured approval to launch scheduled domestic flights in Mozambique under the Fastjet Mozambique brand, marking a significant development for the country's aviation and tourism sectors.
Mozambique’s civil aviation regulator, the Instituto de Aviação Civil de Moçambique (IACM), has issued the required scheduled air services licence, clearing the final hurdle for the airline’s return. This follows earlier confirmation that Solenta already held a valid Air Operator Certificate (AOC) and met all technical, safety, and staffing requirements.
While launch dates and flight schedules have yet to be announced, Fastjet Mozambique is expected to operate key domestic routes including Maputo–Beira, Maputo–Nampula, Maputo–Tete, and Maputo–Quelimane, using Embraer ERJ-145 regional jets.
The airline’s return is expected to introduce greater competition to Mozambique’s domestic aviation market, currently dominated by LAM – Linhas Aéreas de Moçambique, with potential benefits for travellers including improved connectivity, reliability, and fare choice.
