After experiencing significant devaluation and public rejection of its former currency, Zimbabwe introduced the ZiG to stabilise its economy. The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwes Governor, John Mushayavanhu, declared that ZiG will be supported by gold reserves and a basket of foreign currencies as of Monday.

Vistaras Capacity Reduction Sparks Surge in Airfares, Up by 2025% on Major Routes

According to The Indian Express, Vistaras decision to cut back on operations by lowering 25–30 flights per day, or 10% of its operational capacity,

According to The Indian Express, Vistaras decision to cut back on operations by lowering 25–30 flights per day, or 10% of its operational capacity, has resulted in a notable increase in airfares of 20–25% on essential routes. This capacity reduction coincides with high ticket prices and unanticipated pilot reports of illness at the end of March, which resulted in over 150 flight cancellations since April 1. Fares on the impacted routes will likely be further impacted by the capacity reduction, which is anticipated to last until at least the end of April. In addition, worries over Vistaras planned merger with Air India have surfaced in the wake of significant flight delays and demonstrations against a proposed wage reform. Vistara has introduced a new salary arrangement for pilots, offering fixed pay for flying hours and additional compensation based on service tenure amid the merger process. Read More..
