“It is historic. For 10 to 15 years, the airline was in a difficult state, and now we are starting to reach West Africa. Previously, travelers and Tanzanians needing to go to Accra had to fly via the Arab Emirates or Turkey before returning to West Africa,” Professor Mbarawa said.
Speaking on behalf of the airline, ATCL CEO Peter Ulanga said the new flight increases the airline’s destinations from 24 to 32, reaching new locations both within and outside Africa.
