In a further sign that Zimbabwe may be coming in from the cold, KLM will resume flights between Harare and Amsterdam in October, 13 years after it stopped flying the route.
KLM, part of the Air France-KLM group, said in a statement that Zimbabwe is "a strong growth market with a wide array of natural resources".
KLM’s announcement came a day after the European Union said it was ready to lift sanctions if the country holds a credible vote on a constitutional referendum.
Flag carrier Air Zimbabwe has in recent months downsized because of frequent strikes and huge debts as the company tries to maintain an ageing fleet.
Emirates began flying between Zimbabwe and Dubai via Lusaka in February.
