Zimbabwe has established eight new aviation agreements with several countries, advancing its Open Skies Policy to expand international air travel. The agreements were finalized at a global civil aviation conference in the Dominican Republic by a delegation led by Transport Permanent Secretary Joy Makumbe.
The new memoranda of understanding for air transport cooperation involve Argentina, Belgium, the Dominican Republic, Malaysia, and Ghana. The delegation also formalized Bilateral Air Service Agreements with Ethiopia and The Gambia, legally permitting designated airlines to operate flights. These pave the way for enhanced cargo services and passenger travel, including code-sharing partnerships between foreign and domestic carriers.
This initiative supports the country's National Development Strategy 1, which identifies air transport as a key economic catalyst. The government is concurrently modernizing airport infrastructure to handle the growing traffic, having already attracted several major international airlines.
