Humu tuliimbiwa sana nyimbo za jinsi Fastjet itateka na kuangusha KQ, lakini siku hisa 68% za Fastjet zilipokezwa kwa Mswahili, mambo yakaanza kushuka, leo hii inapumulia mashini, kiasi kwamba TCAA wapo kwenye hatua za kuifutia leseni.

. Fastjet Airlines Ltd (Tanzania) executive chairman Lawrence Masha is running against time to stabilise the company, whose mounting challenges could see the authorities grounding the budget airline’s operations.
Mr Masha – who only recently acquired 68 per cent of the shares of the struggling air carrier and, thereby, took control of the business – has only 11 days in which to effectively counter a threat by the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA) to withdraw the operating licence of the carrier.
TCAA director general Hamza Johari told The Citizen yesterday that the civil aviation regulator in Tanzania is seriously considering cancelling Fastjet’s operating licence. This comes amid mounting flight cancellations that have been playing merry hell with travellers’ holiday plans, especially during this festive Christmas season.
A statement by the national Aviation Authority which was released just a few days after the airline suspended its domestic and foreign flights said that the suspensions forced more than 100 passengers who were booked to travel with the airline to spend the night in town.
Clock ticking for Fastjet amid mounting troubles
