Direct flights on the Harare-Dar es Salaam route are also offered by Fastjet and Hahn Air, while Kenya Airways offers a connecting flight via Nairobi.

The route was suspended in May 2009 due to operational challenges faced by the airline. However, customers had been requesting Air Zimbabwe to relaunch this particular route.
