From its hub at Harare International Airport, the carrier operated a network within southern Africa that also included Asia and London-Gatwick.

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.
