Travelling to Zimbabwe is set to become even easier after Etihad Airways and fastjet Zimbabwe signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a new interline partnership, codeshare agreement and frequent flyer partnership.
Once implemented, the partnership will allow travellers to book seamless journeys on a single ticket, with convenient onward connections from Harare to Victoria Falls, Bulawayo and Johannesburg aboard fastjet Zimbabwe. Ticket sales are expected to open on 24 August 2026.
The agreement also supports Etihad Airways' new direct service between Abu Dhabi and Harare, which is scheduled to launch on 24 March 2027. The new route will provide international travellers with easier access to some of Zimbabwe's most popular destinations, particularly Victoria Falls.
In addition to the planned interline partnership and codeshare agreement, the airlines also intend to introduce a frequent flyer partnership, enabling eligible passengers to earn and redeem Etihad Guest miles across both airlines in the future.
For travellers, the new MoU marks another positive step towards improved air connectivity between Zimbabwe and the rest of the world, making future trips to destinations such as Victoria Falls more convenient.
