Air Tanzania adds Boeing maindeck capacity


Boeing and Tanzania have announced an order for a 787-8 Dreamliner, a 767-300 freighter (photo) and two 737 MAX jets at the 2021 Dubai Airshow last week. The airplanes, valued at more than USD726 million at list prices, will be operated by Air Tanzania, the country’s national flag-carrier.

 

Air Tanzania CEO Ladislaus Matindi: "Adding to our 787 fleet, the introduction of the 737 Max and 767 freighter will give Air Tanzania exceptional capability and flexibility to meet passenger and cargo demand within Africa and beyond."

 

Boeing's 2021 commercial market outlook forecasts that, by 2040, Africa's airlines will require 1,030 new airplanes valued at USD160 billion and aftermarket services such as manufacturing and repair worth USD 235 billion, to support growth in air travel and economies on the continent. (cj)
