“You look like Jackie Chan”
All laugh and get along lol
@@dompdompdomp hehe :) I agree.
I definitely don't look like Jackie Chan lol :D
Sam Chui if that guy looks like Kobe Bryant then you most certainly look like Jackie Chan.
That's funny. You don't be sarcastic and don't expect to get a response back. Haha ha. That was funny.
If they are killing to compensate for the killing of blacks by white supremacist governments in both countries then that should be ok!
I'm Zimbabwean. The warmth of the staff is definitely a big plus. Planes are a bit old but we're expecting some great positive growth. So the next time you come you will be even more impressed. We're excited about the future. God Willing.

Mufti Menk You’re Zimbabwean? Is that you in your photo? Where in Zimbabwe do you live?
Please note that Air Zimbabwe has a zero crash record. Staff are pleasant, the food is alright and it’s usually a smooth flight. The planes are old but new ones are coming.
Nicole Taruvinga Oh of course Air Zimbabwe is as safe as Lufthansa or Swissair. No difference at all. Plus the threat of kicking you out of the plane for just filming, just standard also in Western countries Airlines. * sarcasm *
(Looking at your pic, no wonder about the bias within your comment)
James Coco k
Yes ofcource..Zimbabwe airlines world safest airline ne ...and I love black beauties girls zimbabwe
James Coco oh my god. Shut up.
Im a real republican at heart and have my reservations with certain safety aspects in less developed countries but James Coco, stfu... Nicole has a genuine point. the classification of Zimbabwe airlines is not correct with 0 crashes.
Its the most unsafe but has never crashed in 39yrs

0_0 0_0 the plane is 29 years old not the airline
they got aslo few planes so
I'm South African and Zimbabwe is our neighbour, to call their Airline the unsafest in the world is a horrible stretch. You never hear of Zimbabwean planes crashing, unlike some of the western and US airplanes. It's not fair to say that.
Because there are more number of planes running in west and US so they have higher crash.you have to compare the average not the total
Air Zimbabwe has like 6 planes obviously they’re gonna have less accidents
Thank you for clarity on that
@@pbjman5809 Um, more like no crashes at all.
@@rustyscrew5776 because they have like 6 planes, I’m really not sure what’s confusing about that
Food for thought: Air Zimbabwe is so unsafe that their only crashes were in 1978 and 1979, when their planes were shot down by missiles; if not for those incidents for which they can't be blamed, they'd have a perfect flight record. They seem to possess a better track record than so many "safe" airlines.
I think you're referring to Air Rhodesia 825 and 827.
ZIPRA shot down 825 and massacred most of the survivors and 827 ZIPRA shot down and everyone died on board.
When you say "they" can't be blamed ... to whom are you referring when you say "they"?
@@therealhousewifeofghosthun2849 well..
Would you blame the airline if a aircraft is shot down?
No, that was in the colonial period
Air Zim didn't exist in 1978 and 1979. Those were Rhodie planes shot down by guerillas
All things considered, Air Zimbabwe doesn't look too bad. Whilst the country has a long road to recovery and is in dire need of investment, the fact that Air Zimbabwe is still going is hopefully a source of pride for the people. Cheers Sam!
It has a Boeing 737-200, any serious airline would have replaced this plane.
That's pretty much the last two aircraft left. So many delays, changing flight schedules, etc.
The problem is with maintenance, not many skilled staff left plus all the other aircraft have been stripped of parts so you can imagine what they do to fix things.
Well said 👍
It's not for lack of local demand that the airline is still going. It's the disparity between their economy, and the American/German economies where one might source a new aircraft - or even up-to-date parts. The cost of a new aircraft is significantly greater to that airline, simply because the seller's economy outmatches theirs.
Now, if we could somehow produce safe, reliable aircraft within the economy, even just prop aircraft, we might get somewhere.
Oliver: maybe so, but raw death counts mean nothing. It's the fatality risk per flight that matters.
I think Sam is actually supporting Air Zim. He’s not saying Air Zim is the most dangerous, but is saying ‘Air Zim most dangerous?’ which implies that he’s here to prove that Air Zim is not dangerous as what most people think. I think he did a great PR job for Air Zim. 👍
Yea but he didn't prove that it's not the most dangerous. Just because his flight didn't crash doesn't mean the airline is complying with the international safety standards.
Ewww I would be worried I didn't even know zib had an airline 😂
I wonder ooo
I agree with this comment. I think the title is inappropriate. Liked the video but waited for an explanation of the title which didn't come.
Still, there are some airlines I won't go near. China Airlines springs immediately to mind.
Zimbabweans are kind hearted people ❤️......
Iam a kenyan and i agree...
All Zimbabweans are humble, except govt officials, one day the world will go to Zim for opportunities, God love us all,

These planes might be old compared to western standards, but when you have little...you take cared of your stuff and make them work.
And sometimes old is better esp when it comes to longevity and reliability.
But the question is are Boeing still making parts for these old 737s if only a handful of airlines are flying them?
Only if it’s safe to 😂
You just move to the Back of the plane landing just........in case????😂😂😂😂😂
True true
Flew from Harare to Vic Falls many years ago. Lovely, warm staff, unlike most airlines where they're formal & sometimes cold. Love the people of Zim, it's not their fault their government has wrecked the country.
Thank you 💕
I also had that same experience and I think just like you!
You speak the truth
“No seat back entertainment, everything is broken”. That reminds me of United domestic 777.
Ooooooooooh.
I must say that flying United Airlines to New York, I have never been on a dirtier plane. I have heard some terrible things about airlines in America

Hello I want to ask u how it is
mark the question mark
U can say that again
@Daus He replied to the title.
Daus there is no something bad on the video, but the title got question mark whether Zimbabwe Air deserve to get such title
By watching this video, I can tell that Air Zimbabwe has amazing hospitality, and the staff seem very nice. It’s cool how they gave the eco passengers some GOOD food. If they could remodel the interior a bit, and make the outside shine. They are an amazing airline overall, in my opinion.
I agree with you !

It’s really nice to see a B737-200. It brings back fond memories. I flew the aircraft in the 1975 to 1988... logged about 8,000 hours on the aircraft, 3 quarter of them as a captain. It was a really lovely aircraft to fly.
Ahmad Jahudi Badri isn’t it that this aircraft first came into service in 1989. It can’t be a 1975 model, Mr Pilot.
Felix Mambo The B737 model introduced in 1989 is the B737-400
@@felixwmambondiani9518 You don`t know what you are talking about. The 737-200 was a 737-100 with an extended fuselage, launched by an order from United Airlines in 1965 and entered service with the launch customer in April 1968.

No. The airline has an excellent safety record. It has never had a crash since it started operating. Statistically, British Airways is less safe than Air Zimbabwe.
Really not sure that's true. Statistically, when an airline with very few total flights has no crashes, can its crash rate really be known? This is illustrated by the Concorde, which by conventional statistics was one of the very safest airplanes in the world, until the day it crashed, when it suddenly became one of the most dangerous. But I get your point. :)
I'm glad you get my point.
Yes, it made my day too.
Depends on no of planes and frequency of flight
ashish
Exactly. If you have only , say, one flight a year, then no crashes does not = an excellent safety record.
You've got to compliment Air Zimbabwe on the excellent maintenance of their air crafts.

You have to love the reverse thrusters on the old 737!
nothing like I have ever seen before. it was very interesting to see such a drastic difference to that on the newer generations of engines.
The age of that 200! They really don't make them like they used to.
bt flit is lik a 777
Yep luv the reverse thrusters too. The older 737 had open overhead storage as well
I thought it was broken out of lacking maintenance at first time.😂
Sam, the title of the video could have been better. Grateful to the Zim Air team, warm and determined despite their older planes and normal operational challenges. I love Africa.

Can't be the most dangerous if their plane has been flying for nearly 30 years.
Good attitude mate
This Jack Chan looking guy shld delete his UA-cam account . He seems to be smarter than flight attendants
Alex Yegon Air Zimbabwe has a zero crash record
Juist as dangerous as marxist air goryo. Both zimbabwe and north korea are marxist-leninist
They've only had 1 accident and that was way back in 1984.
I love the sound of the old JT8D engines and it's a pleasure to see them in action today.
This video shows little to nothing about how safe or dangerous Air Zimbabwe is but that's not something I expect to see from Sam. What we did get to see is the unexpected free sandwich that looked better than sandwiches I've had to pay for on flights much longer. The Crew are also a pleasant surprise, they're very authentic and those smiles were real and all over their face, not those fake smiles on many cabin crew that are only put on the lips and are instantly gone the moment they turn their heads away.
wow! beautiful comment!
Are we just going to ignore both the 737 landings, they were really smooth

It's most likely to have an accident due to old planes and probably lower overall safety standards than most airlines have nowadays.

I do not see a single thing dangerous about Air Zimbabwe in this video. Their Boeing airplanes might be old, but they appear to be well taken care of. I was impressed by the smooth landings in the 737-200 and by the beauty of the flight attendants. Nice video sir! I will book a trip on Air Zimbabwe the next time I travel to that part of the world!
Zimbabwe is a beautiful country. Yes, it may have a lot of problems, but the people are friendly and probably very resourceful. The airports looked nicely designed and clean, and had some interesting local products to try. That 737 looked comfortable, and something to really think about, a regional flight on an airline in a poor country gives out free lunch and coffee. Find an airline in the "rich" countries that does that. I'd fly that airline...if I ever get the chance to go to Zimbabwe.
well said really thumbs up
*British-cough!Airways-cough!!

My teacher was from Zimbabwe, he was an immigrant and probably the most inspiring person I know. He was the only teacher who still believed in me and gave me a chance after years of bad attitude. He learned me about respect and kindness. I’ll never forget him

Thumbs up from Algeria. Wish you all the best.
Rhodesia?
Shame! I used to fly Air Zimbabwe from Harare to London back in the early 90s on that 767 (200 ER). There were two 767s - Chimanimani and Vic Falls. Before that, the 707 serviced the route - via Athens, Greece. The 707 couldn't make a direct flight to London due to low fuel capacity. There was no inflight entertainment on the 707 - not even music. But there was on the 767, the same entertainment system which, it's sad to note, is no longer working. There was a communal screen at the front of each aisle and one movie was screened per night/flight. The airline was run down due to a succession of very corrupt leaders, one of whom - Peter Chikumba - is currently serving a jail sentence for an insurance scam which defrauded the airline. My father worked for that airline for 22 years.
The 707s did fly directly to London. I flew in them many times before the 767s arrived. The Athens flight did a stop in Larnaca. I remember them vividly because my ears used to hurt when making the approach into Larnaca and hated that leg of the flight. My mum worked for the airline for 22 years as well :D.
taridean oh, I remember taking the 707 flight via Athens and assumed it was a refuelling stop-over. And yes, it was the noisiest aircraft back then.
I hear people say Bangladesh airline is dangerous too
@@MegaLmae They were noisy, but a beautiful aircraft none the less. I kind of miss them. My ears used to hurt due to the descent over water into Larnaca, not the noise of the Pratt & Whitney engines.
Due to the most unreasonable boikots of the then Rhodesia(Zimbabwe) these aircraft were leased from South African Airways. They were later sold to that country but were serviced on a regular basis by SAA technicians. Since 1994 this do not happen anymore. Nobody know who do the maintenance work on these aircraft. Presently out of the 6 aircraft they got only 3 is operational. Zim air is prohibited to fly internationally with their aircraft. This is only one tiny aspect falling apart due to greedy politicians.. 😌

Hi sam ur the best thanks for your video
Mr. Sam Chui, you are the best aviation blogger. I follow with interest your sphere on aviation travel.
The people of Zimbabwe are warm and welcoming, more so than in many other parts of the world. They had the misfortune of enduring Robert Mugabe and his kleptocracy for the first several decades of their post-colonial independence. Then because of their economy's hyperinflation they became the punchline of jokes, and because most Americans and Europeans will never go there it is difficult for this image to be overcome. But almost everyone who goes there comes back with a love of the place and its people.
I worked for Air Zim for over 9 yrs (till Dec.2001) maintaining the fleet's engines. What I would like to say to anybody who have qualms taking off in Air Zim aircrafts is this: their maintenance personnel are a notch above any you can find at any airline you can think of.
That's great.. l was reading on the website that Air Zimbabwe engineers were the first to perform strut improvement on these Boeings, and they were actually given some recognition by Boeing itself.
You'd have to have worked for "any airline you can think of" to know who's safer.
Obviously a self serving statement. Your airline's track record says different.
Morgan McCarthur just wondering how since they have no crashes .
I PARRY U their safety violations are endless, and are not allowed to fly to a lot of international airports because of it.

Meanwhile, we have people with 50x their salaries and 100x their facilities in developed countries in need of counselling, therapies and what not. Kudos to the Air Zimbabwean crew and all the people in this video for displaying their positive energy and happiness.

@@borntofart ha ha lol that's children use to say wallah haha funny God bless you
This brought back many happy memories for me regarding my time living in Bulawayo. I flew from London Gatwick to Harare and then a connection to Bulawayo. As we were landing in Bulawayo, the pilot cranked up the power for a fly around. He spoke on the intercom and informed us that landing had been postponed due to a donkey wandering on to the runway, it’s visible from the starboard side. And there was some ground crew trying to persuade the donkey to leave the runway. We circled twice and eventually landed ten or fifteen minutes later.
A go-around is a safe completion of an approach. This is a very common event in the congested and weather-ridden airspace of the USA. A professional crew always briefs the go-around/missed approach so it is never a surprise when we have to perform one.
To mainstain an aircraft over 40 years old is amazing and still running in commercial flights in the modern era
Sam I am so glad you got to fly on the 737 200. I have more hours on the 200 than I care to admit and I still love the plane. It maybe old but it is a well built plane and if it gets proper maintenance it will fly forever :)

The 737-200 reminds my childhood, I’ve flown many times as a passenger in VARIG and VASP(Brazilian airlines). A very good plane. I became a pilot and now I fly 737-800 and flew the 737-300. Congratulations for the channel Sam!
Wow
I love Zimbabwe from Egypt 🇪🇬❤🇿🇼
Thank you
The Zimbabweans are so much nicer and chill compared to where I'm from. It's a shame that there are still people who don't like them 😔
The fact that the inflight entertainment is broken doesn't matter to me. I'm already impressed by the food, seat comfort, and the cabin crew hospitality. I'd prefer to sleep during the flight to get my energy recharged to explore the city I arrive at.
l recommended a professional broker to you guys sometime ago, can I get person who invested with her

let's gooooo
I saw that recommendations but I did not bother chatting her up 🤦🤦🤦

who is this professional broker and how would I be able to get in contact with her

Interesting plane - so old but interesting to see when it was new Air Zim obviously were super proud when they first ordered it, having gone to all the trouble to get the custom decor and artwork on the cabin bulkheads and dividers. It's actually nice to see that it spent all the time with it's original owners too - so many others would have wound up with a minor operators and had some crappy upgrade to remove all the original features. It's like a little time capsule back into happier times for both the airline and her nation.
The title is for click bait. I clicked it to see why it was so dangerous and what would happen. After watching i am pleasantly surprised and pleased that it is actually a pretty great airline and i would take that flight if i ever visited! So what i assume was his actual plan, to positively highlight air zimbabwe, worked
See the title again. It's with a question mark.
that's what i also realised
He is proving it is good there was a rumor that is was he worst and he proved it was wrong
Of course Sam do want as many clicks as possible. I have experience of African airlines only Kenyan Airways and it was okay but I noticed at Dar Es Salaam airport parking plot that my flight has been changed to one leaving 1 hour 10 minutes earlier. Luckily I was there early enough. Well... in real life it left just 10 minutes earlier and soon there was announce "...after 12 minutes we are landing to Zanzibar..." Everything was okay but I was not flying to Zanzibar but to Kenya. I was not worrying, after Zanzibar we took direction to Kenya.
Overall four flights with them and not big problems but nothing really good either. Just company taking you from point A to B without any luxury or extra. Ok, price was okay, specially comparing to Emirates but next time I pay a little bit extra and fly Emirates if they do have same route
9:00-9:10 The wing and the thrusters looks amazing when landing!
The records: the most unsafe but has never crashed in 39 years. The plane: am I a joke to you?!

I think the Air Zimbabwe logo is pretty interesting it’s the Zimbabwe bird that is found in the flag, but it’s taking off from it’s pedestal! 🇿🇼
Sam seems like such a genuine person. I love aviation!
You don't see many jets today still equipped with the older "bucket" reversers...
9:04 the first time I saw that thrust reversing mechanism as a kid, I thought the engine was coming apart!
Im not a kid and i thought it was coming apart.
hahah 😂
Same for me lol. Flight attendant reassured me it was normal..
Yeah that was pretty cool
@IFM I am a kid
I've flown Qatar, Emirates, Malaysia Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines, South african Airways, and I've got to say Air Zimbabwe might not be the fanciest BUT there's something nostalgic about it that I like that sets it apart from those others. The staff are friendly, sophisticated, helpful and although there's not entertainment the food is good, and the seats are comfortable. Would recommend!
Very true,our food is the best,never enjoyed my emirates food at all.
*Its got those grandma seats*
Now i miss my grandma
Aww it is okay! My dad lost his dad while in high-school to a heart attack, it will be ok!
American airlines could learn alot from this...and maybe fix their attitude
TraXX Boyxxx so true
😂😂
Haha masvava
Air Zim is now one of the flying museams with an amazing hospitality for such an ailing economy!
2:31 the best part! I love how you quickly stated everything wrong with them
Hi.
I'm flying Lion Air in a few months in Thailand. I've heard I should bring my own parachute.
Thank you so much,God will restore the jewel of Africa
Bring a backup as well.
Uesss
Dr Blessing Kasiyamhuru what are you on about
@@drblessingkasiyamhuru1614 Lol, Africa is hopeless. They keep voting for socialism and taking land of Whites, then they end up in same situation everytime.
I don’t like the title. Yeah it’s not the best airline but how are they the most dangerous airline in the world. It seems like he had great service from them but then you talked shit behind their back.
true
I think it's a reference to a false story the Chicago Tribune ran in 1999 about the airline, where a reporter claimed the flight she was on had no co-pilot, and the pilot had to bash down the door. The paper labeled the airline "the most dangerous airline in the world". The story was later withdrawn.
Keith Bennett so why bring up slander that is almost 20 years ago. Wouldn’t you be mad if someone was talking about you on something that is true or was misinterpreted 20 years ago.
Um... you seem to be overreacting a bit. Obviously, from the video, Sam was very impressed with the airline, so was clearly not saying it was the worst or anything near that.
Keith Bennett how am I overreacting. What’s the name of this video again? His words
Lovw from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 zimbawue
what a cool flight attendant lol loved it 13:34 , made me smile
