Mr Matindi said Air Tanzania has taken all precautions regarding Covid-19 to take care of both the passengers and crew’s health during operations to all destinations.

“Soon Air Tanzania Company Limited will connect to Mumbai India, Bangkok Thailand and Quanzhou China via dare s Salaam” he said.

The station manager of Air Tanzania Ms Amanda Nyambona said the airline that normally operates four flights a week but had to schedule to two flights due to the Covid 19 pandemic was half board on the first flight on Bombardier Q400 which is a 76 seater.

“People are still scared of travelling, we know there is Covid but we are safe, our flights are disinfected upon arrival and departure, we observe a two meter sitting distance between passengers who are required to wear masks,” she said.
