India bans Air Zimbabwe

India has banned Air Zimbabwe from to flying over its air space because of Zimbabwe’s failure to sign an international aviation agreement, a cabinet minister told Parliament Thursday.
Transport and Communications Minister Christopher Mushohwe said India wants Zimbabwe to first ratify the International Air Transport Agreement, adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organisation in 1944, before offering permission to the national airline to have passage over its territory.
MDC lawmakers objected to the fast tracking of the case, but the Minister had his way and the agreement was ratified.
