Air Tanzania outlines cargo operation plans

Air Tanzania is going through final registration and pilot training as it prepares to start operating revenue flights with its new Boeing 767-300F. The aircraft was delivered in June. This was the first factory delivered Boeing 767-300F for an African based airline.

CEO of Air Tanzania Mr Ladislaus Matindi said “We will start with Mumbai (India) and other parts of Africa including Lubumbubashi (DRC), Lusaka (Zambia), Harare (Zimbabwe), Nairobi (Kenya) and Entebe (Uganda). We are also finalising plans to go to Kinshasha (DRC) and start a new route to Lagos in Nigeria.” Out of all these mentioned destinations, only Kinshasa and Lagos are currently not being served by the airline. Other destinations that were announced as possible if demand allowed were China and Dubai.
