Reports indicate that a Air Zimbabwe plane flight Number UM467 which was scheduled to depart Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport developed a technical fault on Monday morning.

The mishap is said to have left passengers stranded with some having had to cancel the flight and book with other reliable airlines.

In March last year, scores of travellers were left stranded at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport after an Air Zimbabwe flight destined for Johannesburg failed to take off.

Air Zimbabwe has been experiencing viability problems, which has resulted in flight delays, inconveniencing many of its passengers, who are now preferring to travel with other regional and international airlines.

The delays have often inconvenienced some passengers who would need to catch connecting flights to take them to their final destinations.

As one of the underperforming parastatals, economists have always called for AirZim’s privatisation.
