KLM will start operating to Harare in Zimbabwe in October, tagging the city onto its existing Lusaka, Zambia flight.
Emirates returned to Harare earlier this year and tour operators Cox & Kings and ITC Classics have revealed plans to start taking tourists back to the country.
The flight will operate three times a week and is in addition to its existing offering with partner Kenya Airways via Nairobi, with 11 weekly flights via the Kenya capital.
“KLM sees great growth opportunities in Africa. This year we launched service to Luanda in Angola and Lusaka in Zambia, and in 2011 we began serving Kigali in Rwanda. This new addition to our network strengthens our position in Africa,” said Erik Varwijk, KLM managing director and executive vice president of Air France KLM International & The Netherlands.
Zimbabwe’s tourism industry suffered a huge slump following the ongoing political violence and economic turmoil following the 2002 general election.
