Govt allocates 20bn/-for installation of runway lights Songwe Airport
THE government has allocated 20bn/- for expansion work including installation of landing lights on the runway at Songwe International Airport (SIA) to enable long flight planes to land all the time.
Chalamila said SIA, even though completed still lacks several things including runway lights for night landing, the deficit that makes some people fail to fully utilise it while conducting their economic activities.
“Among strategies of the government is to ensure improvement of airports to international standards to allow big planes, including cargo planes to land and take-off through the day,” RC Chalamila said noting installation of the landing lights will enable business people to easily transport their goods to foreign countries.
Some farmers in Mbeya Region including Lupakisyo Mwakitalu said expansion of the airport will provide solution to delayed crops transportation.
Farmers in Mbeya use the air transport service to transport crops such as pyrethrum, beans and maize.
He said from government’s efforts in the purchase of planes, as now air transport costs are more bearable compared to the previous year when most of them could not afford to transport agricultural products by planes.
Mwakitalu said they are now using less time for conducting business activities as they can easily travel to various regions across the country.
Southern Highlands regions, including Mbeya region are famous for good climate and fertile land which is suitable for the production of horticultural crops hence the availability of the international airport is a boon for transportation of these products.

ATCL to repatriate Tanzanians stranded in China
THURSDAY JULY 16 2020
In Summary
ATCL’s managing director Ladislaus Matindi and Tanzania’s ambassador in China Mbelwa Kairuki yesterday confirmed to The Citizen about the flight which will leave Guangzhou at 1600 hours and land at Dar es Salaam at 2300 hours on July 27 (local time).

Dar es Salaam. Air Tanzania Company Limited (ATCL) is planning to operate a chartered flight to repatriate Tanzanians, with majority being students stranded in China.
ATCL’s managing director Ladislaus Matindi and Tanzania’s ambassador in China Mbelwa Kairuki yesterday confirmed to The Citizen about the flight which will leave Guangzhou at 1600 hours and land at Dar es Salaam at 2300 hours on July 27 (local time).
According to Mr Matindi, ATCL will deploy a B787-8 Dreamliner with a seating capacity of 252 passengers.
“Majority of passengers are students who have completed their studies this month,” Ambassador Kairuki said in a WhatsApp text.
Going by the statement, the flight would also from Dar es Salaam to Guangzhou carry four diplomats who got special permission from China Foreign Ministry.
The ticket fare from Guangzhou to Dar es Salaam is $1,216 for adults and $130 for infants (0-2 years), who are not taking a seat.
For passengers, whose destination is Zanzibar, after landing at the Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA) have to pay $57 more as the fare from Dar es Salaam to their homes.
“Since all passengers taking seats shall share equally the cost of the charter flight, there is no child rate for this flight,” said the statement, expounding that children aged from 2-12 years will pay normal adult fare.
Payment can be made through ATCL bank account, the company’s house sales office here in the city and China Travel Service (Beijing) Co.
The statement further explains that the bank remittance should indicate particulars like passport name, passport number, mobile number and email address.
The new development by ATCL to operate the chartered flight from Guangzhou to Dar es Salaam came on Monday this week after the national carrier secured a permit from the China Aviation Administration.
“We shall start the payment process from July 13, 2020 (Tuesday),” reads a part of the statement.
Ambassador Kairuki said a number of airlines had informed the Embassy of Tanzania in China that they were willing to operate repatriation flights with a view to bringing back home Tanzanians living in China.
The flights are set to be operated from the end of July or early August this year.
“The transport costs will depend on the number of passengers to use the chartered flight and will be paid by themselves,” the Embassy of Tanzania in China said in a statement.
