Airlink is a South African regional airline offering a robust network of destinations across Southern Africa, connecting Zimbabwe to key business and leisure hubs. The presence of Airlink at RGM Airport provides passengers with increased connectivity options and potentially more competitive fares.
Cemair is renowned for its domestic and regional flights within South Africa, and its arrival at the airport opens doors for potential new routes within Zimbabwe and neighbouring countries. This could lead to increased air traffic and contribute to the development of the regional aviation sector.

Fastjet is known for its affordable fares brings a budget-friendly option to the Zimbabwean air travel market.

The presence of Fastjet at RGM Airport could stimulate travel demand by making air travel more accessible to a wider range of passengers, potentially boosting tourism and business activities.

The presence of the three airlines at the RGM Airport’s renovated section of the airport holds significant potential for the Zimbabwean aviation industry. Some of the anticipated positive impacts include increased connectivity. With the addition of these airlines, passengers have access to a wider range of destinations, both regionally and internationally. This enhanced connectivity can foster trade, tourism, and investment opportunities for Zimbabwe.

The presence of more airlines can lead to increased competition in the market, potentially resulting in lower fares and improved service quality for passengers.

This can make air travel more affordable and attractive to a wider range of travellers.

The aviation industry plays a crucial role in driving economic growth. The expansion of the RGM Airport and the arrival of new airlines can create job opportunities, stimulate related sectors like tourism and hospitality, and contribute to the overall economic development of Zimbabwe.

The revamped international wing and the arrival of Airlink, Cemair, and Fastjet mark a significant milestone for Zimbabwe’s aviation sector. These developments pave the way for increased connectivity, potential fare reductions, and economic growth.

As the aviation industry continues to evolve, Zimbabwe is well-positioned to reap the benefits of this growth, positioning itself as a key player in the regional and potentially, the international aviation landscape.
