Executive Air, a prominent aviation company, is facing allegations of improperly maintaining its flight logs, sparking concerns over potential tax evasion and regulatory violations.
Insiders allege the company has omitted critical information from its flight logs, including flight routes, cargo details, passenger lists, and crew records—actions that could contravene standards set by the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe (CAAZ).
A source familiar with the issue, speaking on condition of anonymity, claimed, “There’s a clear pattern of exploiting regulatory loopholes. This isn’t accidental—there’s intent to dodge taxes and skirt compliance.”
Company executives have previously dismissed the accusations, calling them baseless. However, Executive Air has yet to release an official statement addressing the allegations. Attempts to contact the company’s representatives for comment have gone unanswered.
The accusations have reportedly prompted aviation authorities to launch investigations to uncover the full scope of the irregularities. If proven true, the violations could result in hefty fines, suspension of the company’s operating license, and detailed audits of its operations.
This incident has also drawn attention to what many see as a lack of stringent oversight by CAAZ, leading to calls for stronger regulatory enforcement.
