Some sections of social media are up in arms with embattled national carrier Air Zimbabwe for serving Mazoe Orange Crush on a flight recently.
Air Zimbabwe has been basking this week after relaunching a one-day return flight to Tanzania. Previously, flights to Tanzania included a long journey via Ethiopian Airlines that passed through Zambia, connected in Lilongwe, Malawi before making another stop in Blantyre enroute to Dar-es-Salaam.
In an announcement on X on 19 March, Air Zimbabwe beamed:
“It was a good day to fly with Air Zimbabwe as we deployed the BIG girl, B767 Chimanimani, for our special one-day return trip to #Tanzania. The re-introduction of special flights is part of Air Zimbabwe’s #strategic turnaround plan as the business seeks to reclaim its market share. Currently, Air Zimbabwe flies three times a week to Tanzania, and 177 passengers booked today’s flight✈️ #FlyAirZimbabwe.”
As the flight carrier gleamed from the flight relaunch, one passenger took to X to express his annoyance. Airlines usually serve fizzy drinks, 100% juices, wine, gins or just water. However, Air Zimbabwe had a pleasant surprise.
“Hey, Goddy, apologies for such an experience. However, sometimes we face shortages of juices or a variety of soft drinks, and as an airline that values and is well known for its great hospitality, we had to serve the Mazowe orange crush. We are working on resolving this, as we want you to have an amazing experience with us on your next flight. #FlyAirZimbabwe”.
