We are sorry
to announce the suspension of three routes between Dar es Salaam in Tanzania
and Entebbe in Uganda, Dar es Salaam and Nairobi in Kenya, as well as between
Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and Johannesburg in South Africa, effective as of
Monday, 5 December 2016.
The suspension of the routes is part of the company’s ongoing
turnaround program in pursuit of long term sustainable financial structures for
its businesses in Tanzania and Zimbabwe.
Under the direction of fastjet management, the turnaround program
for fastjet is progressing well, with a reduction of operating costs and
overheads, fleet realignment, and flight frequency on identified routes, all
yielding financial benefits.
After careful consideration of all possible options, fastjet has
regrettably made the difficult decision that a small number of route
suspensions still needed to be effected.
The specific routes to be suspended were chosen due to low
passenger demand, as well as inefficient utilisation of fastjet existing and
planned aircraft fleet; as such they were not commercially viable in the
present economic environments of both Tanzania and Zimbabwe.
fastjet apologizes for the disruption and inconvenience caused to
all passengers affected by the route suspensions. All passengers will receive
full refunds for any flights already booked and paid for on the three suspended
routes.
fastjet notes that suspending these routes opens the opportunity
to add extra capacity onto existing routes and will advise of these plans as
soon as they are confirmed.
fastjet’s route network now comprises of domestic Tanzanian routes
between Dar es Salaam and Mwanza, Kilimanjaro, Mbeya and Zanzibar,
international routes from Tanzania to Johannesburg, Lusaka and Harare, and two
routes from its Zimbabwe base in Harare to Victoria Falls and Johannesburg
