BUDGET airline, Fastjet, on Thursday launched its inaugural flight between Zimbabwe and Botswana via the resort cit of Victoria Falls to Maun in the neighboring country.

Flights between Maun and Victoria Falls will be available on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday using an Embraer ERJ145 aircraft. “Our inaugural flight lands in Maun, Botswana, and a traditional welcome from our colleagues at Maun International Airport. “Our schedule flights connecting Botswana and Zimbabwe start today,” the airline tweeted. “We keep going the distance, connecting people, and places and contributing to tourism and trade.”

Fastjet expects the flights to help boost travel options for tourists as they explore some of the attractions that both tourism capitals offer.

The new Maun services sees Fastjet Zimbabwe operating schedule flights into Botswana for the first time and bringing to three the international destinations that Fastjet has connected Victoria Falls to, after Johannesburg and Nelspruit Kruger in Mpumulanga.
