Trip report: Air Zimbabwe Boeing 767-200ER HRE-VFA

Post by quixoticguide »

This flight was part of my trip to Zimbabwe and South Africa in October 2016.
Scheduled aircraft to operate this flight was an Airbus A320 but it was changed to a rare Boeing 767-200ER :D

The flight has a delay of 1 hour because the crew needed to negotiate with the refueling company.
Luckily they found another company to refuel the aircraft.

Yes, Zimbabwe I guess they didn't pay the bill for the fuel.

Qantas (Australia), Lufthansa (Germany), KLM (Netherlands), Air France and Delta Airlines (US) have informed their travel agents worldwide that they have to bill their passengers in cash or stop accepting bookings altogether to avoid non-settlement of obligations from Zimbabwe’s banks, which are battling an acute shortage of foreign currency.

At least, YOU brought them some much-needed foreign currency :)
