Transport Minister João Matlombe says free trips must stop because they hurt LAM Airlines financially. He spoke at a government questioning session Tuesday in Maputo, warning that not paying for ticket damages efforts to fix the struggling national airline. He stressed that everyone needs to help save the company, as past habits can't continue if they want different results.

Matlombe answered the Democratic Movement of Mozambique party, which asked about LAM restructuring plans, management deals with "Fly Morden Ark," accountability systems, financial losses, and why three state companies are joining LAM ownership. The minister revealed shocking numbers—LAM lost about $35.65 million last year, $62.15 million in 2023, $7 million in 2022, and $22.11 million back in 2021.

The government will keep explaining their plans today as talks continue with parliament members. The public airline faces major challenges ahead unless travel payment practices improve quickly. Without these changes, the national carrier might struggle to survive despite recent management partnerships aiming to turn things around.
