Air Zimbabwe has laid off around half of its workforce, a few months after it was banned from using EU airspace amid safety concerns.
The state-owned airline said the 200 job losses are part of its efforts to return to profitability from a £230 million debt.
A spokesperson told local media that the management team has also been scaled back from 28 to 12 and the finance department from 36 to 17.
It is the fourth round of lay-offs in the last eight years.
Zimbabwe’s president Robert Mugabe’s son-in-law took over as chief operating officer last year.
