Govt targets US$ from flights using Zim airspace

Flights passing through the Zimbabwean airspace without landing are now required to pay fees, with recreation flights also required to pay at least US$31 to the government.

The Transport and Infrastructural Development ministry has officially implemented new regulations stipulating fees through Statutory Instrument 98 of 2024 starting from June 1.

“Any person who flies any aircraft within the Flight Information Region (FIR) shall be liable to payment of en-route navigation fees to the director-general,” the notice read.
