787 Dreamliner to become part of Air Tanzania fleet
787-8 is first ever wide-body order for 'The Wings of Kilimanjaro'
Boeing and the United Republic of Tanzania have confirmed an order for one 787-8 Dreamliner, valued at $224.6 million at list prices. The aircraft will be operated by Air Tanzania, the flag carrier of Tanzania.

Air Tanzania said, "The 787 Dreamliner will be the flagship aircraft as we renew and grow the Air Tanzania fleet. We aim to establish our long-haul capability by starting flights to Europe, Asia and the U.S.A over the coming years and the 787 is the perfect aircraft to achieve this ambition."

The 787 is a family of technologically advanced, super-efficient airplanes with new passenger-pleasing features. In addition to bringing big-jet ranges to midsize airplanes, the 787 will provide Air Tanzania with unmatched fuel efficiency and environmental performance, using 20 to 25 percent less fuel and with 20 to 25 percent fewer emissions than the airplanes it replaces.

"I am pleased to welcome Air Tanzania as the newest member of the Dreamliner family,” said Van Rex Gallard, Vice President, Latin America, Africa & Caribbean Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "We are honored that Air Tanzania has chosen the 787 to operate its long-haul operations. The 787 will significantly increase passenger numbers feeding on to its domestic flights thereby boosting overall tourism to Tanzania."

Air Tanzania Company Limited is the flag carrier of Tanzania based in Dar es Salaam with its hub at Julius Nyerere International Airport and currently flies to destinations in Tanzania with a growing fleet of airplanes.

I am told they are cheaper to operate for domestic flights, i am also told that 3 jetliners have already been paid for in full for international flights, what do you think about this strategy?

Lowest Seat-Cost in the Short-Haul Market


The Q400 offers the best of both worlds: able to either fly slower to minimize fuel burn or faster to maximize productivity. With the flexibility to fly at either turboprop or jet speeds, the Q400 can be deployed over short-range and medium-haul markets for maximum profitability. With up to 14 more seats and the ability to do more trips per day, the Q400 offers over US$8 million additional value per aircraft compared to other turboprops.

Productivity
Thanks to its capabilities, the Q400 is able to carry a full passenger payload, even across the most challenging routes where others struggle. Compared to conventional turboprops, the Q400’s higher capacity and speed allow it to accommodate at least one extra flight per day, resulting in the generation of 30% more ASKs (available seat kilometres). Its speed capability also allows it to maintain a jet-like schedule.


Versatility
The Q400 is 30% faster than conventional turboprops. With a maximum cruise speed of 360 knots, the aircraft can easily fly between Frankfurt and Paris in an hour. Its maximum range of 2,063 km (1,114 NM), coupled with its versatility, is also helping operators to replace and supplement jet routes, expanding their market opportunities.

Jambojet (JM, Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta) has signed a lease agreement with the Ilyushin Finance Co. for two Dash 8-400s. The aircraft are sourced directly from the Russian lessor's Bombardier (BBA, Montréal Trudeau) order book. The first is due for delivery in May 2017 with the other due later in the year.

The budget unit of Kenya Airways specializes in scheduled passenger flights throughout Kenya with service connecting Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta with each of Eldoret, Kisumu, Lamu, Malindi, Mombasa, andUkunda. Its fleet currently consists of two B737-300s and three Q400s (two of which are wet-leased from DAC East Africa (JX, Nairobi Wilson)).

Prior to securing its own Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) in November last year, Jambojet operated as a division of Kenya Airways (KQ, Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta) using its AOC.
