As Zimbabwe flyafrica , the company was initially a subsidiary of the Mauritian Flyafrica until the beginning of 2017 . The operation had to be stopped in November 2015 due to "blatant defects" until further notice. The airline was formally wound up in early 2016.
In March 2017, the company wanted to resume operations with new owners. At the end of May 2017, flights were resumed in the near future after a financial injection. At the beginning of June, the company, which is now owned by the Zimbabwean Mugwagwa Holdings , received all the necessary licenses.
