Zimbabwe’s national airline has suspended all its flights indefinitely, after the latest revival effort collapsed this week. Air Zimbabwe chief executive Innocent Mavhunga sai that she can confirm all flights are grounded indefinitely. The airline had hoped to return to the skies this week, after its pilots walked off the job last year, saying their wages had not been paid.

Air Zimbabwe had hoped to convince the pilots to return to work this week so that at least minimal service could be restored. The carrier has been rocked by problems in recent years including frequent strikes by its pilots and mounting debts as it struggles to maintain an ageing fleet. But even domestic flights have operated erratically, as the struggling carrier battles against debts reported in December at $140 million.
