A big plus as huge plane lands in Dar


THE Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA) is confident that any big passenger aircraft can land at the Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA) in Dar es Salaam on normal or diversion landing.

TCAA Director General Hamza Johari said in Dar es Salaam yesterday that the airport had all it takes in an event a pilot of a big aircraft makes a decision to divert to JNIA.

“There are reasons that make a pilot to land at an airport on diversion, among them runaway capacity, navigation height, fire category, ground handling equipment, safety maturity level, aviation security, operational issues, facilitation capacity levels and other consideration, among others,” he said.

He was giving clarifications on the recent diversion landing of the largest aircraft identified as Emirates Airbus A380 that was forced to land in Dar es Salaam instead of its final destination Port Louis Airport in Mauritius due to bad weather.

According to him, the assessment made by the pilot of the plane, JNIA was the best option for such factors, among others. Mr Johari revealed that the absence of such factors would impede the plane’s proper landing.

Much as it was peak hours but still the flight was accommodated and everything turned out well. Besides the smooth landing, the plane opened a room for doing business due to the various services offered to the aircraft and passengers. “For the plane has a fuel capacity of 32,000 litres; it made a refill of 90,000 litres… all the 503 passengers and crew who were in the flight were transported to and from the airport safely,” noted Mr Johari. He pointed out that the 476 passengers and 27 crews were all booked in hotels.

The DG did not reveal figures based on revenues generated from the landing of the aircraft as the process involved several stakeholders.

Since the aircraft possessed an upper deck, the DG observing that the condition created in a bit of complications for passengers who had to use the same airbridge exit. Such challenges had been foreseen earlier; he therefore observed that once terminal three becomes operational such issues would be tackled.

“We extend gratitude to Emirates for choosing JNIA as diversion point; the aircraft could simply opt for other reachable airports such as Madagascar, Johannesburg among others. I would like to applaud the good job done by TCAA, Swiss Port, the Immigration Department, the hotels and others who participated in the process landing the aircraft,” observed the DG.

In another development, the DG disclosed the visit of the President of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), Dr Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu to Tanzania. He pointed out that the coming of the fifth phase government had enabled Tanzania boost its safety maturity level from the former 37 per cent to the current 64.35 per cent. Such revelations were made based on an assessment carried out by a team of experts in 2017.

Mr Johari elaborated that the plan is to reach 75 per cent in the near future. Based on such attainment, Dr Aliu will come to Tanzania to present an award to the President as a normal ritual for any country that had obtained a safety maturity level of above 60 per cent.

JNIA Proves Capable to Handle Biggest Airliners

Emirates Airline flight in Dar es Salaam on Tuesday has promoted the Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA) into the global aviation limelight as an airport with infrastructure and technical capabilities to handle the world's largest aircraft.

An Emirates Airline flight with 503 passengers and crew was on Tuesday diverted to JNIA in Dar es Salaam after it failed to land in Mauritius due to bad weather. Airbus A380, a doubledeck, wide-body, four-engine jet airliner manufactured by European manufacturer Airbus is the world's largest passenger airliner.

An aviation expert said the landing of the Emirates airliner was testimony that JNIA, the largest and the busiest international airport in Tanzania, had the capacity to handle world's largest airliner in terms of infrastructure at the airport and could manage logistics involving handling of such airliners.

His remarks were echoed by Aviation Operations Manager of Oil Marketer, Puma Energy Tanzania, Mr Raymond Tungaraza whose company provided fuel to the wide-body superjumbo.

He said Puma Energy had proved its technical capacity to meet fuel needs of the big aircraft that land at JNIA, as witnessed by the refuelling the Emirates Airbus A380 jet airliner.

"The capacity to efficiently refuel the largest aircraft in the world like we did on Tuesday will attract other airlines to consider operating the Dar es Salaam route, especially at this time when the government is streamlining the aviation sector where Puma Energy is a strong player," said Mr Tungaraza.




The company recently completed the extension of an existing hydrant jet fuel hydrant system at the JNIA, that would easily meet demand for Aviation fuel supply that is expected to grow once the expansion of JNIA's Terminal Three is complete and put in use.

The hydrant system came in handy on Tuesday this week, when Puma Energy was called upon to refuel an Emirates Airbus A380 jetliner, he said. The company's JNIA Depot Manager, Mr Mohammed Ngayahika,

said Puma Energy employed the company's new Hydrant Dispenser, AVT 41 equipped with filter water separator fuel filtration system and manned by AFGUARD water sensor technology. "

This equipment pushed up to 2,800 litres per minute, refuelling the aircraft with a total of 98,709 litres of Jet A1 fuel," said Mr Ngayahika. Mr Ngayahika said the new Hydrant Dispenser makes Puma Energy the only oil marketer in the country capable of refuelling large aircraft with Jet A1 Fuel efficiently and at high speed,

while adhering to international aviation safety standards. Speaking at the JNIA after supervising the refuelling process, Mr Emmanuel Ngowi, the Puma Energy operator said the Emirates Airline's management expressed their satisfaction with the quality of service offered by his company, noting that such rare opportunities offered more avenues for business development.

Acha kutukana nchi wewe sio vizuri ndugu yangu
 
Jamani, I know some folks are over exited (rightfully coz wapo waliobisha uwezo wa runway ya JNIA) but lets not get ahead of ourselves! Yes, The emergency landing is worth noting but really nothing to chest thump about.
Kwa mfano mtu maarufu mfano POTUS aje Tanzania ghafla apate mshtuko wa moyo nahisi wapo watu watafurai kua mshutuko wa moyo kaupatia Tanzania! Tusiwe hivyo jamani

It is actually Kenyan media feeling short changed or ignored by the actions of Emirates landing in Dar instead of Nrb. I find their trying to undermine the Emirates choice a pure jealous.
