Fastjet sued over handling services

Government-owned ground handling company, National Handling Services (NHS), has approached the High Court seeking an order to compel fastjet Airlines Limited to settle its US$150 000 debt.

Through its lawyers Chihambakwe, Mutizwa and Partners, NHS recently issued summons at the local court, accusing the regional airline of reneging on its contractual obligations signed between the two parties in August 2014.

In its declaration, NHS said it entered into a ground handling agreement with fastjet on August 1, 2014 and that the airline would pay for the services in United States dollars.
