1time airline (Johannesburg O.R. Tambo) and Airlink (South Africa) (4Z, Johannesburg O.R. Tambo) are both considering setting up new airlines in Zimbabwe to fill the void left by Air Zimbabwe (UM, Harare International) which now just irregularily operates some domestic services. Both hope to secure a license in cooperation with local Zimbabwean partners that according to legal regulations in the country would have to hold a 51% stake in the carriers. It remains to be seen if any licenses are in fact issued to local start-ups or South African carriers given decisions on applications by Phoenix Air (Zimbabwe) (Harare International) and Sol Air (Zimbabwe) (Harare International) also seem to have been postponed for now.
