Air Tanzania eyes direct UK flights

Air Tanzania has outlined plans to launch direct flights between the UK and Tanzania from July 2027 according to the African Travel & Tourism Association. This follows discussions between the airline and Tanzania’s High Commission in London.

The airline intends to introduce direct services from London Gatwick to Kilimanjaro International Airport. Additional flights to Zanzibar are planned as part of efforts to strengthen tourism and trade links between the two countries.

Air Tanzania CEO Peter Ulanga said the proposed routes will support growing tourism demand from the UK market.
