A new Zimbabwean start-up, Flycristal Airways, is expected to launch charter flights on domestic, regional and international routes from December this year.
Johannes Simau , Founder of Flycristal Airways, told Travel News that the company would begin with a hybrid model focusing on passenger and cargo operations, and once the brand became more established, it would likely split into two separate brands.
Services to benefit business paxSimau said the project was intended to support business travellers in Southern Africa. The idea formed in 2013 from entrepreneurs who can sometimes waste a day travelling by road to buy and move products. By introducing a flight service, entrepreneurs can travel to their destination, stay for a short while and travel back a couple of hours later, while their product continues on the road.
