Air Tanzania's first 767 freighter delivery to Africa
Boeing and Air Tanzania are celebrating the delivery of the airline's first 767-300 freighter. The airplane arrived at the airline's hub in Dar es Salaam and will provide the operator with dedicated air freight capacity to serve the country's growing cargo market.
The delivery also marks the first direct 767 freighter delivery from Boeing to an African carrier. The 767-300 freighter's excellent fuel efficiency, operational flexibility and low noise levels will enable Air Tanzania to support time-critical cargo schedules across Africa and beyond.
This is Air Tanzania's first dedicated freighter as the country looks to expand imports and exports of perishable goods, pharmaceuticals and other products that require timely delivery. (cj)
