# Fastjet Mozambique

Fastjet Mozambique, also known and styled as fastjet Mozambique, was a Mozambican low-cost airline based in Maputo that operated on major domestic routes under the fastjet brand in Mozambique. Fastjet entered the Mozambican market in partnership with Solenta Aviation Mozambique (SAM), which beforehand had specialised in charter flights.

## History

One of the airlines selected was Solenta Airlines Mozambique, which at the time operated charter services to the oil and gas industry within the country.
