According to Josephat Kagirwa, Head of Corporate Affairs and Public Relations, the airline will work on Mondays and Fridays, returning from Mumbai on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The B787-8 Dreamliner will be used for the run. 

 

Kagirwa said that a number of regional flights, including Entebbe, Harare and Lusaka, have recently been restored by the airline.

 

Air Tanzania suspended flights on 25 March due to the rapid spread of COVID-19 around the world. 

 

A bilateral "travel bubble" with India was recently signed by Tanzania to re-start its flights to and from India. 

 

This move is expected to boost tourism in the East African region.
