KLM Royal Dutch Airlines To Cease Harare Freight Operations In April

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has announced it will cease its freight operations to Harare starting this April, citing operational challenges.

In a notice to customers, Tiger Freight’s Managing Director Pim de Wit assured clients that the shipping services provider is exploring measures to mitigate the impending disruption. He said:

KLM’s decision to reduce their African freighter operations to three flights weekly, with Harare no longer included, is a result of their evolving fleet priorities and operational efficiency concerns.

Pim de Wit said that frequent 48-hour delays, cancellations, and rescheduling have significantly impacted Harare flights.

He further explained that KLM Royal Dutch Airlines’ decision to cease operations was influenced by factors such as the short flight leg, the lack of local maintenance facilities, and unstable freight volumes. The firm said:

We are working closely with Airflo KE to ensure alternative routings, where capacity remains available to transport your goods.

This includes partnering with Ethiopian Airlines to provide direct connections from Harare to Addis Ababa, followed by freighter flights to Europe. Additionally, FX Logistics has obtained permits for cargo handling operations in Addis Ababa.

Middle Eastern Carriers: Emirates and Qatar Airlines remain viable options for both westbound (Europe) and eastbound (Asia) freight, although please note that westbound rates are currently higher due to high demand from e-commerce.

De Wit said that there are options to route Harare cargo via Johannesburg, although this may lead to extended handling times. He said:

We remain committed to providing the highest level of service during this transition and will continue to work on identifying the most efficient and reliable alternatives. Should you have any concerns or require further details, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your understanding and continued cooperation. We will provide further updates as the new, solutions are put in place.

This is a sign that Zim economy is shrinking day by day. This could have been a good move for our long defunct Afretair, competition yanga yapera but iyo hurumende yedu yakatokundikanawo kuva neflagship Cargo carrier

The Harare provincial chairperson for Zanu-PF affiliate Farmers4ED, Terai Mudzimukunze, was arraigned before the Harare Magistrates' Court on allegations of defrauding the City of Harare's chief building inspector in a failed farm deal. Mudzimukunze appeared before Magistrate Apollonia Marutya, who granted him US$200 bail. He was ordered to report to the ZRP in Chitungwiza and will return to court on February 25, 2025.

KLM's decision to cease freight operations does not scare Vic Venom one bit....There are plenty of new freight operators eager to work with Zimbabwe that do not have a whiff of Dutch colonial legacy about them....Only crybaby anti-Zimbabwe and anti -Africans are upset about the latest development... Rant over sanity restored

What it means is what they were carrying for us as exportsis no longer there, and they seem no business reason to operate at a loss. It means our economy is shrinking

ED is one man. One man can make decisions, but enforcement is done by others and not all things cross his desk. Zimbabwe is rotten.

@ curator the first paragraph af any piece of writing gives a hint , nyastwoverenga manhiiwe..... He further explained that KLM Royal "Dutch Airlines’ decision to cease operations was influenced by factors such as the short flight leg, the lack of local maintenance facilities, and unstable freight volumes." Mdimi type dzochetengeteswa vana varisiri venyu nedzungu...

Saka short flight leg has anything to do with ED here? Unstable fright volume means ma passengers or cargo **** anouya nema routes avo, does that have anything to do with ED? Kwana iwe, ndiwe unopomera baba vepa next door mhosva yekutadza kwako kuchengeta mhuri yako. Nxxa
