Leased Air Tanzania Company Limited (ATCL) Boeing 737-500 arrived in Dar es Salaam on Sunday night. Acting ATCL managing director Paul Chizi said at the Julius Nyerere International Airport that operations would resume after a week.

To start with, he said, the plane would be flying on Dar es Salaam-Mwanza-Kilimanjaro routes as plans are being charted for using it for international flights.

The plane, with 108 seats, has been leased from Aero Vista of Dubai, and it was checked in Egypt before it was certified.

“Tanzanians should expect the best services that they have missed for some time. We need their support like it was in the past. We’ll provide timely and affordable services,” he said.
