Zambezi Helicopter Company Takes Off from New Aviation Hub

Victoria Falls’ skyline just got a major upgrade. The Zambezi Helicopter Company (ZHC) has officially moved operations to its brand-new aviation hub in the Chinotimba Industrial Area, bringing with it a new era of aerial tourism, aviation services, and visitor comfort.

This investment, valued at USD $2.1 million, makes ZHC’s facility the most modern helicopter hub in the region — and it’s already welcoming guests for scenic flights over Victoria Falls.

What’s New at the Hub

Helipads in Operation: Three new helipads now serve regular flights, while two are dedicated to maintenance.

Hangars & Maintenance Bays: Aircraft are securely housed and serviced onsite, with facilities also supporting other operators.

Guest Amenities: A VIP lounge, restaurant, briefing rooms, and check-in areas give travellers a seamless start to their flight experience.

Support Facilities: Offices, fuel station, and admin block all ensure smooth daily operations.

Benefits for Travellers

With ZHC now fully operating from Chinotimba:

Streamlined Check-In: Modernized briefing rooms and lounges improve pre-flight comfort.

Enhanced Availability: More helipads mean better scheduling and more flight slots.

VIP Experience: Guests can relax in a purpose-built lounge before boarding, setting the tone for a luxury adventure.

Why This Matters for Victoria Falls

This move isn’t just about convenience. The new hub:

Expands capacity for helicopter flights, meeting the growing demand from international visitors.

Strengthens Victoria Falls’ tourism infrastructure, supporting Zimbabwe’s drive towards a US$5 billion tourism economy.

Creates local jobs in aviation, hospitality, and maintenance, uplifting the surrounding community.
