NEW COMPETITIVE THREATS SEE FORMER RIVALS JOIN FORCES
(Posted 23rd February 2019)
Fastjet Mozambique and national airline LAM have concluded a code share agreement, which will see the two airlines cooperate on several routes across the country.
First to come into effect will be the Maputo to Beira route, where the codeshare arrangements commence on 25th of February.
This will be followed soon thereafter by operationalising the code share arrangements on the routes from Maputo to Tete and Quelimane, which will launch in March.
It is understood that this arrangement could be expanded to include further routes, aimed to stem the loss of market share to a newcomer in the Mozambiquean skies.
The arrival on the scene of Ethiopian Mozambique has clearly sped up the cooperation talk between Fastjet and LAM, which was first floated a year ago but little has happened until the new carrier took to the air.
