With this partnership, Etihad guests can book onward travel on fastjet to Harare, Bulawayo, Victoria Falls, and Johannesburg on a single ticket. Fastjet also joins the Etihad Guest programme as its 32nd airline partner; bringing loyalty benefits across both carriers.
What this means for passengers connecting via Abu Dhabi:
· One ticket to Harare, Bulawayo, Victoria Falls, or Johannesburg
· Seamless connections through Abu Dhabi’s growing hub
· Etihad Guest benefits on fastjet operated sectors
· Access to the Abu Dhabi Stopover programme
For Zimbabwe bound travellers
:
· The agreement supports Etihad’s upcoming Abu Dhabi – Harare service, launching on 24 March 2027*
· From Harare, fastjet connects onward to Bulawayo, Victoria Falls, and Johannesburg
· Fastjet customers gain access to Abu Dhabi and Etihad’s wider global network
This is how partnerships should work. Etihad extends its African footprint without deploying additional aircraft. Fastjet gains global distribution and feeds its domestic and regional network. The passenger wins with simplicity, loyalty benefits, and stopover options.
Africa’s aviation story is being written through exactly these kinds of smart collaborations and Zimbabwe is right at the centre of it.
