South Africa's budget airline 1time and Nu-Aero (Pvt) Ltd have formed a joint venture to operate Fresh Air, Zimbabwe’s first low-cost airline. The new airline will use two McDonnell Douglas MD 87s, configured with 132 and 157 seats, that are provided by 1time.
Fresh Air will initially start with flights between Johannesburg and Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) in September 2012. A second route in Zimbabwe is also in the planning. In favour of the new Johannesburg <> Victoria Falls (via Harare) service, 1time will cease its operations on the Johannesburg <> Livingstone route.

Another new Zimbabwean airline?
According to Zimbabwe's Financial Gazette a new airline has applied for a licence to operate in Zimbabwe. Nu-Aero, trading as Fresh Air, will operate passenger and cargo flights to regional and international destination. No information were given if & when the airline may start operations. Last month several newspapers were reporting that an airline called Fly Kumba is scheduled to begin operations in September in Zimbabwe.
In another article the newspaper is quoting AirZim's Chief executive officer Peter Chikumba saying that Air Zimbabwe Holdings (AirZim) is technically insolvent and on the verge of collapse.
