German airline Eurowings Discover is now officially offering direct flights from Frankfurt, Germany to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

This is the first direct flight from Europe to Zimbabwe since Air Zimbabwe discontinued direct flights to London, the United Kingdom in 2011.

This development will surely boost tourism between Germany, its surrounding European countries, and Zimbabwe.

Speaking at the launch of the service in Victoria Falls, Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister Felix Mhona said;

"Eurowings Discover has automatically become a player in connecting this city to more friends and new business partners. We treat the introduction of air services by Eurowings Discover as a seal of approval of our tourism destinations; as a bold endorsement of our government's ease of doing business and promotion of investment policies in line with the countries mantra 'Zimbabwe is Open for Business'"

Eurowings Discover a subsidiary of the large German Lufthansa airline, services five destinations in Africa namely Mombasa in Kenya, Windhoek in Namibia, Zanzibar in Tanzania, Mauritius and now Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. The airline will have three weekly flights from Frankfurt to Victoria Falls
