Air Zimbabwe has been in the news for the wrong reasons this past year. Recently, the airline was criticized for having a bloated staff number while operating only 3 planes.

In October 2016, the Zimbabwe’s president’s son in law, Simba Chikore, was appointed Air Zimbabwe Chief Operating Officer, a move that was criticised heavily by Zimbabweans as just reckless nepotisim by the president.
