Fastjet Mozambique, also known and styled as fastjet Mozambique, was a Mozambican low-cost airline based in Maputo that operated on major domestic routes under the fastjet brand in Mozambique. Fastjet entered the Mozambican market in partnership with Solenta Aviation Mozambique (SAM), which beforehand had specialised in charter flights.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]In September 2017 the Government of Mozambique, through the Civil Aviation Institute of Mozambique (Instituto de Aviação Civil de Moçambique), licensed various airlines for the first time to provide domestic air services in Mozambique in addition to those of the state carrier LAM - Mozambique Airlines. One of the airlines selected was Solenta Airlines Mozambique, which at the time operated charter services to the oil and gas industry within the country.[2]
Fastjet domestic operations in Mozambique commenced on 3 November 2017, initially to four destinations within the country. They were, however, suspended on 26 October 2019 and ceased all operations.[3]
In May 2025, Fastjet announced that it had received permission from the Mozambican civil aviation regulator to restart flying domestic routes, what was expected to happen in June 2025.[4][5]
