PM’S DREAM OF FLIGHT ROUTE OUTSIDE OF AFRICA BY 2029
MBABANE – Is it possible that come end of 2029, the Kingdom of Eswatini will have secured a viable international route with direct flights outside of Africa?
And is this even possible when the country’s national airline, Eswatini Air, is yet to achieve financial stability and break even? These questions arise from the fact that this is a plan that is contained in the Government Programme of Action (PoA) which has been produced by the Office of the Prime Minister, Russell Mmiso Dlamini.
In the document, it is reflected that one of the policy strategies and key deliverables of government is fostering viable international routes with direct flights identified, negotiated and secured, one outside of Africa and two within Africa. In terms of outcomes and benefits, the document states that the plan is to ensure availability of affordable and cost-effective international routes with direct flights from Eswatini. Also, the plan, as detailed in the document, is to ensure an increase in international travel to and from Eswatini.
In terms of delivery time, the document reflects that this is expected to happen between the financial years 2026 and 2029. The funding that will have to be raised for the project has been set at E150 million and the funding mechanism will be through the private sector, and this will be led by the Ministry of Public Works and Transport.
Still on aviation, the document states that about E200 million will have to be raised to facilitate the upgrading of the King Mswati III International Airport at Sikhuphe in order to allow it to host international airlines. Government also plans to improve the Eswatini aviation industry and ensure that the country’s national airline, Eswatini Air, is aggressively marketed. While the idea of an international route would be good for the country, critics of the Government PoA have said that it might be a dream that will take years to achieve.
