Fastjet announced on 25 March 2015 that it had received an Air Service Permit (ASP)[2] from the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development of the Government of Zimbabwe, responsible for administering the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe (CAAZ).

Fastjet then obtained an Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) on 6 October 2015,[1] and announced its plans to launch fastjet Zimbabwe, with initial flights between its base at Harare International Airport and Victoria Falls.

[3] On 18 January 2016, Fastjet Zimbabwe declared its first international route between Harare and Johannesburg, to be served daily from 1 February 2016.

Fastjet Zimbabwe has a local board of directors, and meets all the required nationality standards under which it can be named by the Zimbabwean CAA as a designated airline to fly to other countries under the usual bilateral air services agreements.

Financial results are fully incorporated in the Fastjet Limited group accounts, but information has usually also been made available for the Fastjet Zimbabwe operation (as at period ending 31 December): Fastjet Zimbabwe maintains its head office in Harare; the registered office is Harare's RG Mugabe International Airport, Harare.
