Fastjet Zimbabwe has announced the addition of a new early morning flight on its Johannesburg-Harare route, set to commence on September 29, 2025. The new service will operate daily except Saturdays, departing OR Tambo International Airport at 06:55 and arriving in Harare at 08:40.
The airline stated that the additional frequency responds to growing demand from business travelers requiring same-day early arrival options in the Zimbabwean capital. The flight will be operated using Fastjet’s Embraer ERJ145 aircraft.
Company representatives speaking at the Sanganai Hlanganani Tourism Expo emphasized the route’s importance for regional connectivity.
“This new service supports business connectivity and enhances regional trade between Zimbabwe and South Africa,” a company official stated.
Return flights from Harare will depart at 19:00, maintaining the same daily schedule excluding Saturdays.
Fastjet Zimbabwe, which began operations in 2015, has established itself as a multi-award-winning carrier with an extensive regional network.
The airline connects three major Zimbabwean cities domestically and offers international flights to Johannesburg from Harare, Bulawayo, and Victoria Falls, as well as services to Mbombela and Lusaka.
The airline’s commitment to safety and operational excellence was recently recognized through its achievement of the International Air Transport Association’s Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) registration in 2024.
