The new Air Tanzania
Taken off pprune: From Air Tanzania head office, the new Air Tanzania will start soon! this is the order for aircrafts! 3x Embraer ERJ-190 ( new) 1x Boeing 737-300 lease 2X Boeing 767-200 ER buy The B733 is already flying for TC (leased from QM who are in financial dire straits). Anyone else got anymore info

Saw B733 from QM many times in DAR yesterday and i asked myself QM sustained almost 3 Daily to Dar or operate behalf of KQ. Which routes TC operate this fleet? How about TC own B732? According to one of the newspaper yesterday said TC will launch its businessplan in anytime this month.

What is QM?

Will the Embraers be leased or bought? Overall, not a bad choice of planes though I find the 762ER purchase kinda curious. If they plan to service some longhaul destinations with some decent frequencies, they will most definitely need more than one plane to serve the routes and provide backup when the plane goes technical. I would have preffered the 763ER or an A333 (unless of course these are difficult to come by) which would provide better economics and a tad more uplift than the 762. Its otherwise good news that the wings of Kilimanjaro will be flying again soon. Cheers, Walter.

The 762 does seem odd, only reason I can think of is that there are quite a few decent B762ERs floating around at resonable prices. B763ERs in good condition are like hens teeth apparently.
