Other projects on the cards include an MRO hangar facility in Dar es Salaam, an inflight catering unit, and the construction of an executive lounge in Julius Nyerere International Airport's new Terminal III.
Air Tanzania will take delivery of two CS300s and oneB787-8 through July of this year following which the carrier will embark on a regional and international expansion plan covering Bujumbura andEntebbe/Kampala in Central Africa; Harare Int'l, Lusaka, and Johannesburg O.R. Tambo in Southern Africa; andMumbai Int'l and Guangzhou in Asia.
Airline CEO Ladislaus Matindi has previously noted plans to rejoin IATA as well as an unspecified global alliance
