Etihad expands African network through Fastjet with new partnership
The collaboration will
enhance connectivity giving guests access to destinations currently flown by
both airlines, on a single ticketing system. The agreement was signed in Harare
on July 7 with sales available from August 24, 2026.
Under the partnership,
guests travelling on Etihad can connect onward on Fastjet Zimbabwe to Bulawayo,
Victoria Falls and to Johannesburg, combining both airlines on a single ticket.
The partnership builds on
Etihad's upcoming direct service between Abu Dhabi and Harare, launching on March
24, 2027, extending the airline's reach beyond the Zimbabwean capital to
Bulawayo and Victoria Falls, and giving guests across Etihad's network a simple
way to reach them.
For Fastjet Zimbabwe, the
partnership also opens the door to Abu Dhabi and Etihad's wider global network
as well as its Abu Dhabi Stopover program.
Fastjet Zimbabwe will
become Etihad Guest’s 32nd airline partner, with guests in the
future enjoying frequent flyer benefits across both airlines.
