There are quite a few airlines operating flights to Harare from London and other UK airports. Travelers have their own preferences while choosing a specific airline for taking a flight between different airports of the UK and Zimbabwe. Popular among them is Emirates, as leading choice due to its availability of multiple departure airports from UK and no doubt, being number 1 airline of the world is most compelling and deciding factor among flight seekers for Harare.

British Airways and Virgin Atlantic are other choices for such travelers because both offer flights to Harare via Johannesburg as well.

Besides, Air Zimbabwe used to fly direct for many years between London Gatwick and Harare International Airport and captured the major share of travelers to Harare but seized its operations due to many reasons in 2012.
