- This video is about my Air Zimbabwe B767-200 and B737-200 flying adventure inside Zimbabwe. Is flying Air Zimbabwe really dangerous?
In the video:
0:57 Flying Air Zimbabwe B767-200 Johannesburg to Harare
5:46 Flying Air Zimbabwe B737-200 Harare to Bulawayo to Harare
11:42 General Sights of Harare, Zimbabwe.
“You look like Kobe Bryant”
“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
brian muchemwa true dat

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.
Sam, I just found your channel. I spent several decades as a traveling business consultant and have traveled about 1.7 million miles around the US, Europe and Australia/NZ. I absolutely *LOVE* watching your videos.
You may have the best job in aviation I've ever seen! Right on!
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 !
ikr
So true :)
All Zimbabweans are humble, except govt officials, one day the world will go to Zim for opportunities, God love us all,
Love from South Africa
What nonsense!

Robert Keene how is that nonsense? Could be true
thanks Mathew
@@robertkeene9787 stooooopid
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
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
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.
Peter Kimani it’s just right, air zimbawe is great but there is no real comfort.
Kimani ûhoro waku😂
Ha Peter. He makes it so that he can get those hits on her s videos.people live drama.
Click bait
I don't see any danger. Sure it's not the most luxurious but Air Zimbabwe has a zero crash record
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
Zimbabweans are kind hearted people ❤️......
Iam a kenyan and i agree...
i like Zimbabwe people, always smile. Have a nice day from Indonesia
You've got to compliment Air Zimbabwe on the excellent maintenance of their air crafts.
Lol you mean air craft
and their food-
Not anyone will get it haha
29 years and still on good shape
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.😂

Hello thogden i watch your videos a lot keep up the work and surprised you are at this channel.
Why are you here?
That hit me too. This was filmed while he was still alive and he was killed in a helicopter crash.
😳😳 You are here !!! I watched you and Thogdad through 19/20 epl season. Good work 👏
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.
I mean the plane is old on the inside, but the people and the staff seemed really warm and positive!
Different frim south African Airlines were the worst stuff i have ever flew
Thomas H You have to remember that they may be putting on a show for the camera.
Bob Dobalina I flew air Zim and I can confirm that the staff are so lovely and positive in general

Can i ask you something about Zimbabwe ?
@@thulantran4529 ask
How many hours for a fly Vietnamese _Zimbabwe ?
Im worry so much ,,because some people say 48 hours!
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!!
We were saying..
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
All countries have problems even the richest ones. It’s all about people hospitality, kindness and humanity.
Thumbs up from Algeria. Wish you all the best.
Rhodesia?
Dry bones shall rise again.. lots of love Zim💖💖
Yes my guy😂😂😂😂
You're very funny😂
Amen
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 :)
Air Zimbabwe: labeled "most dangerous"
Lion Air: Hold my beer...

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
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.
our planes are old,but Air zim aint the most dangerous airline in the world and has a zero crash record.
search commercial airlines accident. Count major accident with huge number of fatality in last 15 years. Then you will know what airlines is the most dangerous airline in the world. Without counting, i will put Indonesian Airlines Lion Air as most dangerous airlines out there. Have a nice day bro. I am from Indonesia.
@@SantaKlaus1981 thanx bro ,i really agree with you on that,have a nice day to you too
Kind of hard to have a crash record when there’s barely any flights to crash
@@SantaKlaus1981, let's pick on the poor people with no money for maintenance. Air Koryo
I'm wondering why air zimbabwe is banned by the European Union. The EU ban a airline if the airline doesn't meet the safety standards. So it must be an unsafe airline.
I visited Zim for the first time just after ED took over. 5 weeks travelling around all over. I loved it and being Aussie it was different in almost every way to what I was use to. 10 out 10 for Air Zimbabwe. I knew I was in Africa. 10 out of 10 to the Zimbabwe people for making me feel so welcome. They all knew I was not African 😎 ( of course ) but I am going back very soon. The money exchange rate varies very quickly so just don't expect it may be 1.8. How wonderful to think Zimbabwe can rise again to hopefully somewhere where it once was. Time will tell. If your thinking about a holiday in Zim " do yourself a favour mate " go!
Wow thanks
Thank you.
Well than you havent been to South Africa or Botswana
Victoria Falls enough said❗️
Very, very nice Sam; you're a fantastic person.
It's impossible not to love people from Africa and how they smile 😀

Yes, what a beautifulll plane!
I was visited Zimbabwe which was then Rhodesia back around 1975 I believe . Victoria Falls was so beautiful .
Beautiful air Zimbabwe. ..
Beautiful Zimbabwe country . ..
Beautiful Zimbabwe peoples. ..
Air Zim has had no crashes yet, so they are safe. I have no idea how they manage maintenance, but however they do it, all I can say is :WELL DONE!!!
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.
He's one of the most nicest and likable guys to watch, and so non judgemental of race or class!
th-cam.com/video/IcHTgEfyUZM/w-d-xo.html
He was speaking nonsense
That 737-200 is 32.2 years old, delivered (interestingly enough) to Air Zimbabwe in (Ready for this? Drum roll please), 1986!!! Spent it's entire career flying around Africa. What a gem to fly on.
Airfast, one of the 737-200 approx 90 year old
(I think)
Garuda001yt that’s impossible cause the 737 I’m not exactly sure when but was introduced after the Second World War maybe the 1950-60s?
@@pubghou4975 sorry i forgot how old it is but in theory, Airfast is one of the oldest airline
(I think [again])
@@gerudah_ The first Boeing 737 was introduced in 1969 so a 90 years old 737 is impossible.
I dont care if we dont have music, tv, blankets, or anything. As long you have a Flight Crew full of Joy and Love, It will be the best flight.
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
Sam seems like such a genuine person. I love aviation!
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.

Africa is greatest continent on earth.. ❤from 🇲🇾
As a Zimbabwean, and from a purely economic point of view, I find it interesting that it's mostly black Zimbabweans flying between South Africa and Zimbabwe, and mostly white Zimbabweans flying between Harare and Bulawayo. There are lots of economic nuances there and I need to know what they are...Number of flights taken and the demographic of the people flying between routes are key economic indicators...could it be that black Zimbabweans are unnecessarily seeking economic opportunities further afield when they are right there in Zimbabwe??
That is a good research question
NThony1 we should get an undergrad business or economics student on it...if you know any...
Dont take me wrong but are there white zimbamwuens??are there many..i didnt know that
@@MegaLmae Well, I am an economics and business student. But I think this kind of research topic would be best conducted locally where direct sources is available. Maybe you could contact universities in Zimbabwe to tackle this.

Great video Sam, I lived in Zimbabwe as a kid and grew up next door in Zambia. Zambia Airways also had the 737-200, so this brought back so many childhood memories of those awesome flights on that awesome plane. Cheers! :)
Old is gold i think the most dangerous is Boeing 737
Edit :- i mean B737-800 MAX
LOL. BASED ON CRASH
B737 8 MAX
lol tell them
You mean max 8, and not 737 fleet in general.
Clearly everyone here is delusional.
The only plane that is unsafe is the 737-*800 MAX*. All other 737s are *SAFE TO FLY*. Do not worry if you're flight is on a 737. The dangerous aircrafts have been grounded therefore meaning *they are NOT* going to serve passengers.
Rest assured.
AM A ZIMBABWEAN LIVING IN RUSSIA and ooooh my God i used to complain about how economically unfortunate we were until i got here. I mean Russia is better but weather politics and general poverty , i now miss home. Better the poor but sunny healthy country than some so called roses we see in painted pictures yet its not what it looks like. Zimbabwe is a practically better place to stay. my opinion.
what’s you doin Russia?
You should've informed yourself about Russia. No one wants to live there foregood.

@wildwilllis1 tell that to the fucking delusional people in the comments
Air Zim is now one of the flying museams with an amazing hospitality for such an ailing economy!
This is a good advert for Zimbabwe Airlines. Friendly attendants with a good sense of humour, great airline which is actually one of the safest in the world, and the food looks amazing!!
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
😂😂😂😂 Sam explaining how exchange rates work.
So glad you flew SAA my absolute favorite airline. Their service is impeccable!

Better on board service than most short haul European these days. Love the 737 bucket scoops too.
Seeing those thrust reversers kick in really hammers in how aged those birds are. Think of it this way, from a model/miniatures point of view, those airframes have such character, every beaten panel, streak of rust, and slight misalignment from stock are unique touches.
The records: the most unsafe but has never crashed in 39 years. The plane: am I a joke to you?!
th-cam.com/video/IcHTgEfyUZM/w-d-xo.html
To mainstain an aircraft over 40 years old is amazing and still running in commercial flights in the modern era
I would be very apprehensive flying such old aircraft, because of the stress of take offs and landings. Glad you enjoyed it and are safe.
steve3ri that is why they go through maintenance and checked for airframe stress, when it gets to the end of life it will be taken out of service.
In the 70s and 80s, I worked for several airlines and I am familiar with that. In the past year, there was an airplane crash in Cuba on Cubana , who leased a 737-200. It made me very aware of flying any older version aircraft. Air Zimbabe seems as if they have not updated their aircraft. I am glad Sam enjoyed it and had safe travels.
Brian do u think they would keep up with maintenance on that plane and if they didnt, would anyone regulate? Why its banned outside
John Ng fair enough I don’t blame you for going with the European Union ban, however for the people that have intimate knowledge on the ban it was more to do with politics of the day & airport fees debt which actually led to the seizure of one of air zim aircrafts. Like I said in one of my posts air zim definitely needs a facelift & upgrading its fleet but old aircrafts are still airworthy & maintenance is done religiously. Would the airline be allowed to fly to South Africa without regulation or any airport for that matter. Unless you are ignorant to think no one regulates in Africa.
John Ng Yeah, but in African nations, there is probably next to no safety regulations
I have not flown since 1979 from Salt Lake City to Calgary Alberta Canada on a 737 and this brought back so many memories it was a western airlines it looks like you had a wonderful time
Zimbabweans they are awesome, love from Uganda

You should tell the world about it because you'll never hear about it on the BBC.
Wow, I want to visit all of Africa some day !
Old but gold.
Mate why did you entitle this vid "THE MOST DANGEROUS AIRLINE"?????? Was that just to get people to watch your vids..????😮😮😮
Kezza Chadda obviously I will not have look if he weren't write that.. Click bait 🙄
@@Blanksteg you lost me at "negro". You're very ignorant.
racist
I'll second that!
@@Blanksteg I'm American and honestly speaking, you can't judge other airlines because Jet Blue and Delta have old planes as well, not clean, and some of their devices don't work. So, yeah, get over it.
WOW! Didn't expect to see the Springboks at the beginning of the video😯 Cool stuff man👍👍
This is good news that Zambaway Airlines provides refreshment to the passengers during half an hour domestic flight. In USA I travelled from Los Angeles to Washington DC ie five hours flight, but the airline staff did no provide me any refreshment. In this regard African I have air lines are better then American people Airlines. Engr Nabi Bakhsh Lahore Pakistan
Hmm

Lol. You are a joke. Are you writing in English?
U need to improve ur English. Really it is to bad.SPEAKING ENGLISH DOES NOT TELL ABOUT UR CLASS OR STANDARD .👍👍Thanks for reviewing.
Dear Sam,
I think you should strongly reconsider the way you title your videos. I understand that you want more views for your channel, but with the title of the video " World's Most Dangerous Airline" it makes you look silly because in the video you had positive experiences. Furthermore, you have done the same for your asian Airline videos. Mid you that crew and airlines staff might be watching this video and may dishearten them a lot.
Lack Adore This is a recent trend on TH-cam.
I think people don't really understand sarcasm. There is a question mark in that title hey! If anything, this guy is trying to show the world that Air Zimbabwe is not the shitty airline that Western countries try to depict.
Zimbabwe will rise again, wish all the best for that beautiful country!
clickbait title
squid b0ii it’s an ICAO statistic
They are very nice and friendly indeed..
I have heard jokes about Zimbabwe currency..... but what a pleasant video with a mix of warmth and great people. Great video Sam!
Sam if you want to fly B737 200 you should come to Edmonton Alberta Canada as we have several airlines that still use them and some are out fitted with gravel landing kits. These aircraft are used to fly to the Canadian North. Some are even in a Combi configuration.
Edmonton!!!
