Precision now increases flight frequencies to the Comoros

Summary
The airline says booming interaction between Tanzania and the Comoros has prompted the increase of flight frequencies to the Isles from Dar es Salaam since resuming operations
Dar es Salaam. Precision Air yesterday announced increased flight frequencies between Dar es Salaam and Comoros over booming interaction between the two countries.

The airline has been operating two frequencies per week since July this year when it resumed flights to Comoros, after 10 years of suspension.

However, the company’s managing director and chief executive officer Patrick Mwanri said the frequencies were added to three, flying Dar es Salaam-Moroni (Hahaya) and Anjouan every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

“We resumed our operations in Comoros in July after suspending the services in 2012.
The reception from the market was very affirmative,” said Mr Mwanri.

He added, “And today, three months down the line, we are excited to announce additional frequency from two flights a week to three.”

He said the airline was also considering increasing the frequency to daily flights connecting Dar es Salaam, Moroni and Moheli.

“Due to increased business interaction between Tanzania and the Comoros, we are strategising to position ourselves as key facilitators by increasing our flight frequencies between the two countries,” asserted Mr Mwanri.

He commended the government for continued support to the private sector and for opening up the country to allow more businesses with the rest of the world.

He also acknowledged the Comoros government’s tireless support, saying that his airline was committed to providing quick, reliable, safe and affordable services.

“In this modern world economy, air transport is an important catalyst for economic growth and as Precision Air, we are prepared to support economic growth for the two countries,” Mr Mwanri said.

For his part, the Comoros ambassador in Tanzania Dr Ahamada El Badaoui Mohamed said the frequency in Precision Air flights to Comoros came at the right time as flight demand between the two countries has been growing steadily.

He said at least 1,500 Comorians were visiting Tanzania for business, tourism and health purposes on a monthly basis.

“We are excited about the resumption of Precision Air flights in Comoros once again after the suspension back in 2012, and furthermore, on the frequency increase which came within a short time after the resumption,” said Dr Mohamed.

He exuded his optimism that through the airline, air transport in Comoros would be now reliable.

Precision Air is operating scheduled flights from its main hub in Dar es Salaam to Arusha, Bukoba, Dodoma, Kahama, Kilimanjaro, Mbeya, Mtwara, Tabora, Mwanza, Seronera (Serengeti), Zanzibar, Nairobi, Moroni (Hahaya) and Anjouan.

 
 
Swissport rises to meaty challenge

Swissport has reached a new record in the handling of fresh meat at Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam (DAR), Tanzania.

In the first six months of the fiscal year of Swissport Tanzania Ltd. (March to March), the tonnage of fresh meat exports increased by almost 50% compared to the first half of the previous fiscal year.


The tonnage of fresh meat exports handled by Swissport has been growing steadily over the past years with a 15% year-on-year increase both in 2020 and 2021.

In 2022, fresh meat exports account for half of the overall perishable cargo exports out of DAR, where Swissport is the only air cargo handler to provide temperature-controlled cargo facilities and perishable handling services.

The fresh meat handled by Swissport in Tanzania is flown to the Middle East, specifically to Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and the UAE.

The other half of the perishable cargo exports out of DAR consists of vegetables, fruits, flowers and fish. The increase in export quantities over the past years has also supported the development of the Tanzanian farmers’ markets.

Swissport has invested in upgrading its air cargo centre infrastructure in Dar es Salaam, which now includes temperature-controlled facilities equipped with roller decks for fast and efficient offloading, as well as a CEIV Pharma certified storage facility for import products.

“The recent export figures reflect an increasing demand for fresh meat products. And they indicate that the Middle East is a reliable export market for Tanzanian producers,” said Dirk Goovaerts, Swissport’s head of Continental Europe, Middle East & Africa and Global Cargo Chair.

“Swissport Tanzania, with its state-of-the-art cargo operation in Dar es Salaam and its expertise in handling perishables, plays a vital role in the supply chain.”

“Our successful cargo operation must be attributed to the highly professional staff,” said Mrisho Yassin, managing director Swissport Tanzania. “We regularly provide and ensure compliance training of handling temperature-sensitive perishables and we have strict monitoring procedures in place.”

Swissport Tanzania also provides airport ground services for the national flag carrier Air Tanzania at its home base in Dar es Salaam. Most recently, Air Tanzania extended this partnership until 2024.
