One of Africa’s largest airlines, Kenya Airways, has brought
forward the launch of its maiden flight into Victoria Falls to May 1, joining
some of the biggest carriers on the continent landing in the resort town.
Kenya Airways had originally planned to introduce flights
into the resort town, which will also connect to Cape Town in South Africa, on
May 18.
However, a statement from the Civil Aviation Authority of
Zimbabwe (CAAZ) said the first Kenya Airways jet would land in Victoria Falls
on Workers’ Day, two months after South African Airways (SAA) introduced the
first wide boarded plane on the destination, an Airbus A330.
Last month Africa’s largest airline, Ethiopian Airways, also
introduced flights into Victoria Falls, with three weekly frequencies that also
connect into neighbouring Botswana.
SA Airlink has indicated that it will start flights into the
town in July this year.
“Kenya Airways will be launching a direct service to
Victoria Falls from 1 May 2017”.
