Air Zimbabwe’s London Gatwick flights have officially resumed, restoring direct passenger services between Harare and London Gatwick for the first time in more than 14 years.

The service officially returned on 23 July 2026 and operates three times a week, making London Gatwick the UK’s only airport offering nonstop flights to Zimbabwe’s capital. The route is served using an Airbus A330-300 operated under a wet-lease agreement with Spanish airline Plus Ultra, while Air Zimbabwe manages the commercial operations.

The restored service is expected to strengthen travel between Zimbabwe and the United Kingdom, providing greater convenience for business travellers, tourists and the Zimbabwean diaspora.
