The link, safety, no money..... Its all about it.
Guys lets just be honest for a second, the airline is totally grounded for sometime. My greatest hope is to recover from this crisis which is getting worse and worse by day. As i said before which might be too late by now, something has to be done soon to rescue this airline.
Wheelbay, its pity that you didn't get a chance to fly with our A320, but who knows maybe one day you will get to meet me or the famous 406 pilot, another benz lover in Tanzania.
Aka benz lover.

Chinese in Tanzania, Indians in Nigeria
In Nigeria, it's Indians, and in a very big way too. Dana Air is the new subsidiary of the Dana Group, auto distribution, manufacturing and trading concern which has just launched MD-82 services {two aircraft} on the Lagos-Port Harcourt-Abuja triangle. I can confirm imminent delivery of another 4 jets, although some insist its ex-Alaska Airlines fleet will reach 10 machines. Heavy maintenance has been contracted out to an Iberia subsidiary. Also delivered is a Lear 45 for taxi ops, with factory new Challenger 605 and EMB Legacy on the way. Ultimately, few out here doubt the viability of this venture because of the properous pedigree of the group.

Advice for latest Air Tanz current status
Hi all - I stumbled across this thread and am now worried about upcoming trip (January 21). I need to get round trip from DAR to JRO but now I see from comments above why I have yet to be able to access Air Tanzania site. Anyone know if Precision Air has similar issues with safety or solvency? Their website is up but does not allow online booking - am I ok to give them a credit card over the phone? Makes me nervous when they are so far away... Thanks for any thoughts/advice...

PW Still going fine. If you are going to Arusha you could use some of the other smaller avaition companies. Coastal-www.Coastal.cc or Air Excel www.airexcelonline.com or Regional www.regional.co.tz or Tanganyika Flying Co. www.flytfc.co.tz all have flights from Dar to Arusha and back, most will route via Zanzibar in both directions, TFC routes via Lake Manyara on the way to Arusha. Good Luck

thx
Thanks Vialengai - much appreciate the input. Was finally able to reach a live person by phone and book a ticket with Precision Air, or at least I think I did as they seem challenged to send me any sort of confirmation. They told me to just pay when I arrive so we'll see...

Airworthiness certificate Air Tanzania withdrawn
"In December 2008, the Tanzanian Civil Aviation Authority, (TCAA) withdrew the airworthiness certificates for all Air Tanzania aircraft and grounded the airline for unspecified safety and maintenance violations. In the same month IATA canceled Air Tanzania's membership in the organization, citing the same safety and maintenance violations."
Just saw this on the net. Does anybody know more about this?
Did they sell all their aicraft(737/DHC8) or do they plan a re-launch under a new name?

My friend space pig, were you in space or? Because you are very much outdated. Checkout a thread "Air Tanzania in worst financial crisis" for more info. By the way for your own and others interest aswell, Air Tanzania is back in the air with full colours. Thanks to the Goverment for the support on this crisis.
