Nomad Adventure Tours - Official Operator Website - Zimbabwe: New Airzim Planes Reduce Costs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-08) |
 | | AIR Zimbabwe says its latest aircraft, the MA60 with a carrying capacity of 50 passengers, has slashed the airline's operating costs by more than 300 percent as passenger figures for domestic and regional routes remain relatively depressed. |
 | | Geoff Nare, an engineer at Air Zimbabwe, told The Financial Gazette that the paternity controversy surrounding the MA60 sparked by its acquisition from China, a country allegedly associated with counterfeits, was the only factor affecting the performance of the plane in Zimbabwe. |
 | | The MA60 is actually a good, safe, reliable, efficient and economical aircraft, which has shown a positive performance trend in Zimbabwe since its arrival. |
