Air Zimbabwe set to pay debt
Mugabe is a frequent flier on Air Zimbabwe
Air Zimbabwe has secured funds to pay its debt to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), an official has said.
The airline’s chief executive, Rambanai Chingwena, said arrangements are under way for the remission of the money due to IATA.
The national carrier was suspended from the association over a debt of $1.3m for tickets booked with other airlines.
IATA, acts as a clearing house between players in the aviation industry.
Chaos
Mr Chingwena said the airline’s membership of IATA remains intact.
Last year, foreign airports threatened to impound Air Zimbabwe’s equipment if it did not pay outstanding fees.
The country’s economy has been in freefall in recent years, with inflation at 600% and shortages in foreign currency.

I see this news as a light at the end of the tunnel. I sincerely hope this helps Air Zimbabwe get back on top of things. Who knows, this could even pre empt a fleet renual. what your vote folks, Airbus or boeing LOL! (j/k)
However I feel, the Mugabe regime may not do much for the Airlines prospects. By that I mean there is a lot of political unrest with Zimbabwe, and Air Zimbabwe might find it hard to prosper.

good to see they are trying to fix things in place. But i doubt under the curent scenario Air Zimbabwe will see any light from the horizon.
