Air Tanzania in worst financial crisis

I heard they are in worse financial crisis due to management crisis and last week they cancelled flight to Comoroes due to unpaid fuel bills.

last Month
BP stop supplying fuels due to unpaid bills too.

They asked govt to inject more money hence there is lack of business strategy and future.

Any news

To a TC737

Mh from me all i can say is no comments!
But i'm not hesitating to say that something has to be done or some changes have to take place soon to return our beautiful National flag carrier back to ops normal.

Well it seems like the Goverment is negotiating with a Chinese investor to rescue the National flag carrier, lets hope for the best.

The Chinese seem to be keen on Africa and have been investing heavily over the past couple of years in the African economies; its the first time i've heard of them investing in Aviation.. Let's hope it all works out for the better since the industry's already choking due to the dwindling pax numbers!!

Last I heard locals also had to shell out 24000 usd for a rating. No idea what's happening in regards to hiring.

But if ATC does go down the tubes there will be plenty of folks around looking for jobs, especially now that the 737's are gone.

Heard the 320's on the way out too.

And rumours of some staff being laid off, though this needs verification.

hola people,

im still here and flying....sometimes late....sometimes cxd...sometimes no fuel...sometimes no spares...sometimes out of duty time...sometimes out of spares...if your asking how long will the circus be in town for, im afraid no one can quite answer that question with any certainty...

precisionair is always hiring new guys with funny accents, so i suppose you stand a good chance of getting in there, as long as you got some euro's floating around you, just make sure you got a cpl with "twin rating"...

keep it up there fellows,

no more 406pilot

Thanks for that 406. I got a couple of PMs about that.
Want to get from Nairobi to Zanzibar next month so will probably go with Precision Air.

Wheelbay you didn't say where you will be flying from, but if it will be from JNB, you shouldn't get worried, you might get a delay of about 2 hours atleast, but you will get to Zanzibar. The A320 is doing that route.
But if you're going to fly from somewhere else especially where the 406pilot is flying to with his boat, get your nightstop kit ready.
Lowbypass, talking about the MA 60? I rather fly a caravan. By the way karibu Dar if u r back.
