Air Zimbabwe omorganiserer og mistenkes for korrupsjon

[LN-MOW]

Eller bare business as usual .......?

A couple of days ago I wrote about how Zimbabwe took delivery of a Boeing 777 this week, which used to fly for Malaysia Airlines.

Zimbabwe’s government owned airline is 300 million USD in debt, so Zimbabwe is doing what any rational government would do, and is acquiring four 777s that they’ll be leasing to a start-up airline in their country. Bye bye Air Zimbabwe, hello Zimbabwe Airways! What could possibly go wrong?

Korrupsjon i Zimbabwe:
Er det noen som er sjokkert, eller overrasket?

La oss holde oss til Zimbabwe. Det er stor forskjell på Uganda og Zim. Det blir som å sammenligne Finland og Italia. Afrika er ikke et land, men et kontinent tre ganger så stort som Europa.

Når det er sagt, det finnes ikke korrupsjon i Zimbabwe. Det er et rykte satt ut av Robert Mugabes fiender...:wow:

You're a genius LN-KOG. Takk for at du deler inside info.

Neeei, si det?

That’s only half of the scandal. It then came out that allegedly 140 million USD couldn’t be accounted for in this deal. That happens to me as well sometimes. You know, when you drop 41 million USD on something, and then 140 million USD goes missing. You’ve just gotta roll with the punches in life, you know?

Og soga fortsetter ... kjerra er tilbake i Malaysia for sjekk uten å ha flydd så mye som en time, og da skulle man kanskje tro at Zimbabwe Airways var klare for action?

Secondly, Zim Airways clearly has no capacity to operate those aircraft, as they have no trained pilots and engineers for them.”

“This means the we will need to hire expatriates to fly the planes, and the going rate for a B777 captain is at least $20,000 per month which is unaffordable in this market, where you don’t even have the passengers to justify the investment.”

Sikkert ikke det siste vi hører fra Kaptein Simba og vennene hans ... Stay tuned!

Og da har noen funnet ut at det å ha to konkursforetagender er mindre lurt enn å bare ha ett ..

Asked on why government had set up Zimbabwe Airways in the first place, considering the administration’s failure to capitalise Air Zimbabwe, Matiza said there was nothing wrong with having a second national airline.

“There is nothing wrong with having two national airlines; it (Zimbabwe Airways) was set-up for strategic business but our main purpose right now is to have Air Zimbabwe in the sky.

Ser ikke ut som de har gitt helt opp? I følge Skyliner var en 777 overført fra lagring i Kuala Lumpur til Harare forrige uken

Nå har de kanskje innsett det er greit med litt hjelp utenifra?

International aviation consultancy Knighthood Global - led by former Etihad Airways executives James Hogan and James Rigney - is working on a strategic plan for the Zimbabwean government to jumpstart the country's aviation industry, including Air Zimbabwe (UM, Harare International), local airports, and ground handling services. A first feasibility study is scheduled for completion by the end of August 2023.
