Air Zimbabwe Cancels its Profitable Route

Online Travel Review points to Air Zimbabwe suspending its only profitable route, Harare to London, over fears that its aircraft would be seized for nonpayment of debts.

70% unemployment and 1200% inflation, the country can't mine its significant resources because it lacks the hard currency to secure replacement parts for its machinery. Lay this at the feet of dictator Robert Mugabe, whose wife has been known to take the national airline's planes on shopping trips forcing the carrier to cancel passenger flights.
