Britain's government site has said, Air Zimbabwe has been refused permission to operate flights to the EU because the airline has been unable to demonstrate that it complies with international air safety standards."
The site further says, "British government employees travelling to and within Zimbabwe has been advised to use careers that aren't subject to the EU operating ban."
This is despite comments by Minister of Transport J. Gumbo that only two flights had been affected.
"It should be noted that the ban is on two specific aircraft that fly long haul to Europe," he said.
"The airline has not been banned from-flying to Europe. If we corrected that ban on the two planes will be lifted. The previous management was found wanting on the way they maintained those two. It's politics at play but its set conditions on those aircrafts which we have to correct. It is good for Air Zimbabwe, there are some checks and balances which are for our benefit."
