Airline plans to launch direct flights between UK and Tanzania

“We will also run direct flights to Zanzibar, expanding the tourism potential of that destination from the UK, too,” he said, but the ATTA gave no further details.

In addition to a domestic network, Air Tanzania currently flies to China, the Comores, India, the Seychelles and the United Arab Emirates.

Tanzania and Zanzibar’s High Commissioner to the UK, Mbelwa Kairuki, was reported by the ATTA saying: “It has been one of my biggest and most passionate ambitions during my assignment to the UK to see the introduction of a direct flight to my country.”
