Air Zimbabwe prepares for return to international flights Air Zimbabwe is battling to meet safety standards by its deadline of 30 October so that it can resume international services soon after. The carrier has already taken delivery of two Airbus aircraft in preparation for its flights. These will be used to replace aged Boeing aircraft. Air Zimbabwe, which is a state carrier, suspended operations in January due to pilot strikes, poor finances and the threat of aircraft repossession. The carrier must now meet safety standards to avoid a ban from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) on operating international routes. It is currently flying only domestic services. The government has agreed to take on its debt of $100m.
With the National carrier struggling to meet the desired safety requirements to get back into the air, it's amazing that Avient can continue without any effective safety oversight
