Air Zimbabwe was the national airline of Zimbabwe, headquartered on the property of Harare International Airport, in Harare. From its hub at Harare International Airport, the carrier operated a network within southern Africa that also included Asia and London-Gatwick. The company was a member of the International Air Transport Association, and of the African Airlines Association since 1981. It was 100%-owned by the Government of Zimbabwe, and had 1,234 employees at August 2012 (2012-08).
Following financial difficulties, Air Zimbabwe ceased operations in late February 2012 (2012-02). Serving a reduced domestic network, the carrier resumed operations for a short period between May and early July 2012 (2012-07), when flights were again discontinued.

Famous quotes containing the word air:
“At the milliners, the ladies we met were so much dressed, that I should rather have imagined they were making visits than purchases. But what diverted me most was, that we were more frequently served by men than by women; and such men! so finical, so affected! they seemed to understand every part of a woman’s dress better than we do ourselves; and they recommended caps and ribbons with an air of so much importance, that I wished to ask them how long they had left off wearing them.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
