FASTJET – SUCCESS AND CHALLENGES

(Posted 18th October 2016)



The on-time dispatch of flights across the Fastjet network in September was now given as 93 percent, which by common industry standards includes delays of up to 15 minutes compared to STD, short for scheduled time of departure as outlined in the airline’s time table.

This is a considerable improvement over previous months and a sign that operational diligence has been accomplished.
Meanwhile though does the airline maintain a caution to passengers for the present month of October, during which a fleet rollover is taking place with the arrival of three wetleased Embraer E190 aircraft, substituting the larger and more costly Airbus A319’s which have progressively left the fleet in recent weeks.

Says Fastjet: ‘We are sorry to announce that some of our flights will experience disruptions until Monday 31st of October. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused by this‘.

Passengers are advised to check with the airline about the departure times of their booked flights though Fastjet has been making regular announcements on social media and otherwise to keep travelers informed about any changes in their published departure times.

Posted on July 18, 2018; StandardAero Press Release

This new contract extends StandardAero’s relationship with Air Tanzania, the company having previously provided engine support for the airline’s Q300 aircraft.

Under the five-year contract, StandardAero–one of three P&WC network overhaul facilities worldwide for the PW150A–will provide scheduled and unscheduled engine maintenance from its state-of-the-art location in Singapore.

The tailored support solution being provided to Air Tanzania also includes engine condition trend monitoring (ECTM) services, StandardAero being uniquely placed to offer analysis expertise as both an original equipment manufacturer (OEM)-approved designated overhaul facility (DOF) and a CAMP Systems Designated Analysis Center (DAC).

These ECTM services include troubleshooting, maintenance tracking and the development of customized maintenance programs based on operating environment and utilization, thereby allowing operators to minimize unplanned downtime and cost.

Commenting on the agreement, Mr. Ladislaus Matindi, CEO of Air Tanzania, said: “We are very proud to sign a contract with StandardAero for servicing our Q400 engines, and we believe that StandardAero will offer a total attention and maximum dedicated service to Air Tanzania. I am delighted to work with an established and well-respected organization which is ready to enhance our effort of revamping our national carrier.”

Peter Turner, president of airlines and fleets for StandardAero, added: “We are proud that through the signature of this agreement Air Tanzania has demonstrated its continued trust in StandardAero, and we look forward to not only meeting but exceeding the fast-growing airline’s expectations for on-time support over the next five years.”

Air Tanzania Company Limited (ATC) is the flag carrier of Tanzania, based in Dar es Salaam with its hub at Julius Nyerere International Airport.

The company was established in 1977 following the dissolution of East African Airways and has been a member of the African Airlines Association (AFRAA).

Since its inception, the Government of Tanzania (GoT) has undertaken a number of structural changes of ATC with the view of enhancing its performance.

The partnership did not perform to the expectations of the GoT, and as a result on Aug. 31, 2006, an agreement was reached to dissolve the shareholders agreement between SAA and GoT, with the GoT becoming the sole remaining shareholder.

Air Tanzania flies to 11 domestic destinations and Comoros as a regional destination with a growing fleet of airplanes.
