The Mozambican government argues that one way to save LAM from insolvency is to explore new routes. The Maputo-Lusaka flight was inaugurated this Friday.The Mozambican Minister of Transport and Communications is urging the exploration of new international routes as one way to secure the recovery of Linhas Aéreas de Moçambique (LAM), noting that the carrier needs time to become more “relevant”.“[The creation of more routes out of the country by LAM] is a way of solving our problems”, Mateus Magala said on Friday evening (30-06) after the inaugural LAM flight between Maputo and Lusaka, the capital of Zambia.Noting that the Mozambican flag carrier must take safe and significant steps to consolidate the recovery process, Magala said that the future involves exploring new destinations in Africa and other continents, “travelling to profitable destinations”.He considered “historic” LAM’s unprecedented commercial flight between Maputo and Lusaka, the southern African city that 47 years ago hosted the signing of the Accords between the Mozambique Liberation Front (Frelimo) and the colonial authorities, paving the way for the independence of the African country in 1975.
