Mozambique plans investments in aviation sectorApr 28, 2017: Mozambique Civil Aviation Authority (IACM) has launched a public tender for the investment of domestic, regional and intercontinental routes and asked interested local and foreign companies to for the investment. After a strong criticism of LAM (Mozambique Airlines) by many of its customers over flight delays and cancellations the president of Mozambique Filipe Nyusi also supported the criticism when he visited LAM on April 13, 2017. The routes covered by the tender include virtually every conceivable domestic route, whether currently flown by LAM or not. The regional routes in the tender exclude LAM’s most profitable route, which is Maputo-Johannesburg, operated in an arrangement with South African Airlines (SAA). Other regional routes are currently flown by LAM (but sometimes operated by other airlines) are included in the tender (to Nairobi, Dar es Salaam and Addis Ababa).
