Zimbabwean airports forced to shut down over bomb threats
Bomb threat alerts at Victoria Falls International Airport prompted the shutdown of the country’s airports on March 1.
A planned trip for President Emmerson Mnangagwa to the city was also cancelled as a result. According to local news outlet News Day, authorities received a caution call about an explosive device being present on-site minutes before the President’s arranged arrival at Victoria Falls.
The president was scheduled to attend the closing ceremony of the fifth International Renewable Energy Conference and Expo but had his private aircraft, Falcon 7X diverted back to the capital Harare after the alert.
According to the Airports Company of Zimbabwe Public Relations and Communications Manager Tonderai Mangombe, all other airports were to be closed to ensure the safety of citizens.
The incident led to a disruption in the travel activities of many with passengers being stranded. A Kenya Airways flight for instance from Nairobi was redirected to Livingstone, Zambia after several hours of delay as a result of the incident.
