No more fuel for Zimboobwe....
"Zim Air running on empty 12/05/2003 10:25 - (SA)
Harare - Zimbabwe's national airline has just two or three days worth of fuel supply, the result of a critical shortage of liquid fuels that has hit the country, a newspaper reported on Monday.
Quoting airline spokesperson David Mwenga, the private Daily News said Air Zimbabwe is waiting to hear from fuel companies when more fuel will be delivered.
"We have enough stocks for two to three days," Mwenga was quoted as saying.
The spokesperson said that an Air Zimbabwe flight from London to Harare had to make a stopover in the Zambian capital Lusaka on Sunday, to save the country's own dwindling stocks of fuel.
Zimbabwe is in the grip of a crippling fuel shortage, due to a lack of foreign currency needed to import the commodity. Most fuel stations across the country have run dry.
There is also a shortage of coal in the country, which has affected industry, and the government has said that electricity power cuts are imminent due to the inability of the country to pay its debts to suppliers.
The Air Zimbabwe spokesperson was not available to speak to AFP on Monday. "
Ag shame....

well no surprises there then. There are a few more shortages than just fuel and coal - try everything!
Air Zim is lucky to still have the 767's with all the debts they have outstanding on them. In addition to the current problems facing the country, the airline can't even crew their a/c with decent drivers - 2 years for line training is taking the p###.
