Tanzania Builds Seven New Airports
Tanzania is building seven new airports in a move seen as plans to ensure that each region has its own air landing terminal as well as boosting the aviation industry in the country.
Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance and Planning, Emmanuel Tutuba, said already the Songea Airport of Ruvuma is complete by 96 percent, the Mtwara terminal by 86 percent and Iringa done by 88 percent.
The Permanent Secretary was addressing editors and senior journalists at the Arusha Sub-Treasury premises, during special media training sessions organized by the Ministry of Finance and Planning.
Other airports include that of Musoma which complete by 84 percent as others currently in pipeline include those to be built in Tabora, Shinyanga as well as the expansion of the Mwanza Airport.
The ongoing airports construction projects, according to Mr Tutuba, are being executed with support from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
The country already has two leading airports, the Julius Nyerere International of Dar-es-salaam and Kilimanjaro International perched between Arusha and Kilimanjaro Regions.
Other top terminals include the Dodoma Airport whose construction was backed by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and Songwe terminal serving the Southern Highlands. Arusha also has the domesticbut relatively busy airport which essentially links the city to all National Parks in the Northern Circuit.
In the Isles, there is the Abeid Amani Karume International Airport of Zanzibar.
The Tanzania mainland has 27 airports managed under the Tanzania Airports Authority except for Kilimanjaro International, which is managed by the Kilimanjaro Airport Development Company (KADCO).
Meanwhile the official figures from the Ministry of Finance indicate that the inflation rate in Tanzania has remained well under 5 percent despite the ongoing conflicts in the East Europe, while the shilling keeps getting stronger against all odds.
As the inflation rate fell to 3.7 percent in February 2022 from 4.0 percent in January, the situation remains stable even now despite the global Covid-19 pandemic, which has been taking toll on the economy for the last two years.
“And we are still doing well despite ongoing unrest following the Russia, Ukraine conflicts in the Eastern Europe,” stated the Permanent Secretary while addressing editors and senior journalists in Arusha.
Organized by the Ministry of Finance and Planning the training is within the series of educational programs for media personalities targeting to enlighten members of the press on economic issues.
It was further stated during the media training that the country’s inflation remains under control sticking well below the government’s medium-term target of 5 percent.
Stability according to experts is also credited due to slower rises in the prices of key commodities, including food, which is the biggest driver of inflation in Tanzania.
The Permanent Secretary added that the country’s total foreign reserves have reached a historical high, sailing well above the regional benchmarks. The central bank attributed the reserve increase to exports of goods and services that increased by 6.1 percent.
“The country’s foreign reserves are sufficient to cover about 6.4 months of projected imports, excluding those financed by foreign direct investment,” stated Mr Tutuba.
“We now pay salaries in time, settle debts within the set timeframe and the country is also seamlessly executing all major development projects,” he added.
On the other hand the World Bank’s GDP growth forecast for Tanzania after Covid-19 induced slowdown indicated that growth in 2019 stood at 5.8 percent, then dropped to 2 percent in the following year of 2020.
By the year 2021 growth rose to 4.3 percent and in the course of this year, the country’s GDP growth is being predicted at between 4.5 percent and 5.5 percent.

Air Tanzania has appointed Network Aviation Group as its cargo GSSA in Kenya, with the UK and Dubai included as offline sale points.
Air Tanzania’s flights from Nairobi to Dar Es Salaam started in November 2021, with the African carrier operating two daily Airbus A220 passenger aircraft.
Tanzania’s national flag carrier plans to fly to the UK and Dubai, aiming to launch flights by the end of 2022.
In November last year, the Tanzanian government placed an order for a B767-300 freighter which will be operated by Air Tanzania.
The freighter will “be used to capitalise on Africa’s burgeoning cargo demand” with demand on the African continent growing rapidly over the last 12 months, according to official IATA statistics.
Air Tanzania chief executive Ladislaus Matindi said: “Adding to our B787 fleet, the introduction of the B737 Max and B767 freighter will give Air Tanzania exceptional capability and flexibility to meet passenger and cargo demand within Africa and beyond.”
Peter Njambi, cargo sales manager for Network Airline Services in Nairobi, said: “We look forward to working with Air Tanzania and we are confident this will be a successful partnership for both companies.”
Government-owned Air Tanzania is based in Dar es Salaam with its hub at Julius Nyerere International Airport.

Zela Aviation Signs Strategic Agreement with Tanzania’s Precision Air
Posted On 21 Sep 2021By : GTP editing team
Cyprus-based air charter group Zela Aviation in late August entered into a strategic partnership with Tanzania-based airline Precision Air.
Effective from October 1, the agreement foresees that Zela Aviation will act as a General Representative for the lease of Precision Air’s aircraft, crews, maintenance and insurance (ACMI) to other airlines.
“We are thrilled to sign a GSA contract with a reputable airline such as Precision Air,” Zela Aviation Chairman Andreas Christodoulides said, adding that Precision Air is one of the airlines upholding high standards in Tanzania and the surrounding region.
Precision Air offers scheduled flights from its central hub, Dar es Salaam to Arusha, Bukoba, Dodoma, Kahama, Kilimanjaro, Mbeya, Mtwara Mwanza, Zanzibar and Nairobi.
“We will work closely with Precision Air to see this partnership is fruitful and both sides achieve their business goals,” he added.
Apart from scheduled commercial flights, Precision Air also offers charter services, third-party maintenance services through its Approved Maintenance Organization (AMO), parcel and cargo services.
On his part, Precision Air Managing Director and CEO Patrick Mwanri spoke highly of the new venture with Zela Aviation.
“The aviation industry is witnessing many changes and challenges due to the pandemic; therefore, as a business, we have no option but to be agile,” Mwanri said.
He added that Precision Air’s partnership with Zela Aviation will enable the optimum utilization of their aircraft, as they are currently not fully utilized due to decreased demand in travel.
According to Mwanri, the cooperation will most importantly provide a source of ancillary revenues during the low season.
Zela Aviation is active in the fields of aircraft chartering and sales. It operates offices in Limassol, Athens and London, and provides services in Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America.
