British Airways recently introduced five flights daily between Johannesburg and Dar es Salaam. The flights will be operated by Comair, and are set to start from November 2.
“We look forward to include Dar es Salaam in our growing regional network,” said Stuart Cochrane, the Executive Manager for Network Development at Comair in Dar es Salaam.
He said that Comair which operates local British Airways’ local flights in South Africa has big plans for Africa in the aviation industry.
“The growth of the network is part of the ongoing commitment to the South African government’s airlift strategy aiming to improve access to and from South Africa for both business and tourism“, he said.
However, Cochrane said Comair’s intention would be to grow this route to daily service as soon as possible.
“The introduction of additional flights to Dar es Salaam will bring a much needed alternative service and competitive pricing to a market that is currently only serviced by one airline operator,” he said.
He said that Tanzania is rapidly becoming a desirable business and tourism destination. “We are looking forward to developing this route as a successful addition to our network,” added Mr. Cochrane.
