What, for goodness sake, is our national airline Air Zimbabwe doing leasing an aircraft from a company Plus Ultra which has been subject to criminal investigations by the Spanish police?
Spain’s National Police searched Plus Ultra’s Madrid headquarters on 11 December 2025 as part of a money-laundering investigation.
Prosecutors are investigating whether funds linked to corruption involving Venezuela, including allegations relating to the CLAP food programme and gold transactions, were laundered through financial transactions involving Plus Ultra. These remain allegations under investigation, not proven facts.
Nevertheless our national airline should never have contracted with such a company as it reflects badly on Air Zimbabwe and our Nation as a whole.
Furthermore it raises serious questions about the state of the aircraft leased.
We demand answers from Government.
