A country's development is not always linear and not everything develops at the same rate. It is not reasonable to expect as much. The question to ask rather, is whether the country is on the right path and if the thrust is in the right direction. Key infrastructure is a critical driver of development, its implementation doesn't mean every bit of the country is immediately at the same footing. Given the state in which our airline industry was including the airport itself, one must understand that a spanking new airport does not mean an immediate recovery or the same levels of passenger traffic as you would have in an that has been healthy for decades.
❤ if u know economics you will know that an infrastructure of that magnitude is very expensive to run and if the levels of passengers expected do not rise it means u are operating in the red. Most African country have been running their avion infrastructure at a loss mainly due to lack of passengers. U have to factor in the resources poured in to build such an amazing building. I used to do impact assessments for small holdings and I can tell you for sure that your analysis lacks in depth. U don't fly before u can crawl it's as simple as that in business. With a budget of 7 billion dollars such an infrastructure is luxury for many hence the losses .our economy is agricultural based and all that needs to be done is create opportunities for farmers first and once the people at the bottom have money for luxuries then u can think of flying out and targeting mainly local flights just like how Rwanda did
@zimcoder I don't think the country is at the "build and they will come" stage of economic progress. Geography of Zimbabwe means it can never generate meaningful transit traffic like East African capitals. Majority of passengers to Harare will always be final destination travellers. Airports thrive on transit passenger business.
@@thomaslundi5110 But still a one hour, or one day observation of human and aircraft traffic at an airport cant gather sufficient, reliable and persuasive evidence to make any meaningful conclusions. He could have used any available statistics relating to passenger traffic at the airport to argument the analysis. What were the numbers before the renovations, what are the numbers now, are there any improvements, what are the forecasts for the future. So I still believe that the method of data collection that was used here wasnt the most appropriate and the conclusions are therefore inconclusive.
Zimbabwe’s geographic location positions it as an ideal hub for transit traffic in Southern Africa. However, the potential remains largely untapped due to the challenges facing Air Zimbabwe. The airline appears to lack a clear strategy for establishing a more efficient and competitive aviation network in the region.

@mbatatisimbatatisi8335 The comments in the video are in no way an empirical analysis of any phenomenon. They are purely an opinion based on what has been seen. Having said that, the airport handles 5 long-haul flights the whole day and possibly about 20 domestic and regional flights in the same period. There are airports much smaller than the Harare airport that handle such traffic in less than an hour. The airport has a whole period between 7pm and 2am where no plane is taking off. It is a fantastic piece of infrastructure all the same.
@@CoffeeHunter01 In other words you are confirming that your opinions are possibly shallow, biased, and not supported by any empirical evidence. Thank you
Dude you should have showed the audience what you are talking about. Seeing your face for 15mins isn’t entertaining.. I will give you a 3/10 for the device battery 🪫 used.
Awesome narration ❤❤
Good to see you keeping well Mr Chindodo! Awesome work with Changamire. Regards, (C) Takawira
@@EndoCanna Takawira, what's up. Let's link up.
nice analysis and quite fitting I may say, in short I concur.
Which part of the UK want to support you sir.

Kkk, what's a good coffee Can't you say Espresso, Americano, Cuppaccino excetera😊
@@zee-pougebndouyebani9828 lol, a good barista should know.😉
@CoffeeHunter01 Oh I see, we keep learning

@mbatatisimbatatisi8335 What I can confirm is I know more about coffee than I do airports. So, horses for courses...
Don't like that airport- sorry !!!
@JasonHeath-w2u would love to hear what you don't like in particular. I am conflicted too.

Battery? Device was plugged in lol
