Etihad Airways, Fastjet Zimbabwe Sign Deal For Codeshare And Single-ticket Flights

Etihad Airways and Fastjet Zimbabwe have signed a memorandum of understanding to establish an interline partnership, a codeshare agreement and a joint frequent flyer programme.

Signed in Harare last Tuesday, the partnership will let travellers book single-ticket journeys connecting to destinations including Bulawayo, Victoria Falls and Johannesburg.

Etihad’s chief revenue and commercial officer, Arik De, said the partnership with Fastjet will help expand the airline’s African network and allow passengers to connect to more destinations seamlessly through a single booking.

“Africa is an important part of Etihad’s growth, and partnerships like this one with Fastjet Zimbabwe are how we extend our reach and open up more of the continent for our guests,” De said.

“From Harare to Victoria Falls, travellers can now plan their journey across Zimbabwe on a single ticket, and we look forward to building on this cooperation.”

Fastjet Zimbabwe chief executive and country head Donahue Cortes said the partnership will improve connectivity, give customers more travel options and strengthen Zimbabwe’s links with key international markets.

“This marks the beginning of what we believe will be a significant partnership. We are delighted to be working alongside Etihad Airways, one of the world’s leading airlines, exploring opportunities to improve connectivity, broaden travel options for our customers and further strengthen Zimbabwe’s links with key international markets,” said Cortes.
