Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique Airlines (LAM) on Monday blamed EuroAtlantic for the current problems in operating flights on the route between Maputo and Lisbon, claiming that the Portugal-based company had not paid for the rental of the aircraft that it had supplied LAM for the purpose.<\/p>\n

In a statement sent to Lusa, the Mozambican air carrier explains that it had to cancel the flight between Lisbon and Maputo on Saturday \u201cdue to problems with the aircraft supplier, EuroAtlantic Airways (EAA)\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the moment before passengers boarded, in Lisbon, LAM became aware that the provider had not paid the owner of the used aircraft and that it had in turn, determined that the airplane should not be used,\u201d it reads.<\/p>\n

Lusa tried to contact EuroAtlantic \u2013 LAM\u2019s partner in resuming this route, after a hiatus of around 12 years \u2013 about this matter, but there has been no response so far.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn view of this situation,\u201d LAM explains that it \u201cmade efforts to materialize the flight\u201d, and succeeded on Sunday, January 14, using an aircraft \u201cfrom another operator\u201d.<\/p>\n

The next flight on the Maputo-Lisbon route, will take place on Tuesday (16-01), at 03:00 local time (01:00 in Lisbon), it adds.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile these actions were taking place, accommodation was granted to passengers and those who expressed interest in taking the trip with other operators were redirected. Refunds were also given to passengers who expressed their express intention not to continue with the flight,\u201d the Mozambican flag carrier highlighted.<\/p>\n

LAM resumed flights to Lisbon on December 12th, 2023, using a 302-seat Boeing 777, the result of a partnership with the Portuguese operator EuroAtlantic, connecting the two capitals three times a week.<\/p>\n

The Maputo-Lisbon route, abandoned by the company almost 12 years ago, is part of the operator\u2019s revitalization plan, after the South African company Fly Modern Ark (FMA) entered the management of LAM in April last year for the process of restructuring.<\/p>\n

The operation to resume LAM\u2019s flights to European airspace costs around US$2 million (\u20ac1.8 million) per month, the company\u2019s general director said on December 13th.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis operation has immense cost elements. The immediate fixed cost are around US$2 million a month,\u201d Joa\u0303o Carlos Po\u0301 Jorge declared at the time.<\/p>\n

The LAM revitalization strategy follows years of operational problems related to a small fleet and lack of investment, with a record of non-fatal incidents associated with inefficient aircraft maintenance.<\/p>\n

LAM\u2019s flight network has 12 destinations in the domestic market, at a regional level it regularly flies to Johannesburg, Dar-Es-Salaam, Harare, Lusaka, and Cape Town, while Lisbon has been the only intercontinental destination since last December.<\/p>\n

LAM carries out more than 40 flights daily with a fleet of one Boeing 737, three Q400s, two Bombardier CRJ 900s and two Embraer 145s operated by its subsidiary Moc\u0327ambique Expresso (MEX).<\/p>\n
