Speaking to ZimLive this Tuesday, an unnamed senior Air Zimbabwe official confirmed that the Ethiopians have agreed to take possession of the plane. Said the official: > The plane is going to Addis Ababa for positioning and possible leasing out. We have been in negotiations with a few airlines who have shown interest, and the Ethiopians are leading that pack. They have agreed to take possession of the aircraft for now and will maintain it, while the talks continue. Air Zimbabwe currently flies a single plane, a Boeing 767, on domestic and regional flights to Dar es Salaam and Johannesburg. Meanwhile, the “new” plane flown to Ethiopia today bears registration Z-RGM, named in honour of the late former president Robert Gabriel Mugabe. *More: ZimLive* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
