The biggest airline in Africa, Ethiopian Airlines has offered Air Zimbabwe a lucrative partnership deal that will see the airline bringing planes, train pilots and also assist the national airliner to become an aircraft maintenance hub in SADC region. Ethiopian Airlines is the biggest airline in Africa and it won the best African airline last year. They would do that together with maintenance people of Air Zimbabwe and so that we can get a clear partnership which would then fly the Air Zimbabwe routes in code, sharing with Air Zimbabwe colours and they will fly all over the world using that particular agreement,” he said. Ethiopian Airlines have about $18 million hanging in its Zimbabwean account and President Mnangagwa and Mr Gebremarian discussed the issue. President Mnangagwa told the premier the environment for investment in Zimbabwe is conducive and peaceful except for a few isolated events.
