Historia

Air Tanzania is the flag carrier of Tanzania based in Dar es Salaam, at Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR).

The airline operates passenger services to the main destinations in Tanzania including Julius Nyerere – Dar Es Salaam International Airport (DAR) and Kigoma Airport (TKQ). Air Tanzania was relaunched in 2007 after its five-year partnership with giant South African Airways was dissolved when it commenced operations from Dar es Salaam - Kilimanjaro - Mwanza.

Air Tanzania has codeshares with Air Uganda and Air Zimbabwe and was established in marzo 1977 to operate the services suspended following the break up of East African Airways which was jointly owned by Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya. In noviembre 2011, Air Tanzania resumed services following the return of one Dash 8-Q300.

In 2016, the Tanzanian government wanted to revive the national carrier and bought two new Bombardier Q400 for the national carrier. In December the same year, the government announced that four more aircraft would be bought for the airline.

In the summer months of 2019, the airline started new routes to Johannesburg, South Africa and Mumbai, India. These routes are fully operated by the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner and the Airbus A220-300.
