US embassy bans staff from using Air Zimbabwe

In a statement released on Wednesday, the US embassy told its staff to stop using Air Zimbabwe with immediate effect due to safety concerns.

Part of the statement reads:

The European Union (EU) banned the state-owned airline from flying to Europe on May 16, 2017 because of safety concerns that include improper or overdue maintenance and lack of a computerized record-keeping system.

Safety concerns raised by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the U.S. Embassy’s investigation dictate that travel on Air Zimbabwe be suspended until such time as the deficiencies are rectified.

U.S. Embassy Harare will lift the restriction when all issues have been verifiably addressed according to international standards.
