Air Tanzania is Tanzania’s flag carrier, with its main base at Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) in Dar es Salaam, the country’s primary international gateway. It is the main local option for scheduled passenger flying, covering domestic links and regional services within East Africa, alongside international flights.
For regional and island-hopping travel, Precision Air and Flightlink Tanzania are key scheduled carriers, focused on domestic routes and short regional sectors that connect major entry points such as Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) and Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) with other airports around the country. Zanair is closely associated with Zanzibar, using Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) for passenger services that are oriented toward Zanzibar and nearby coastal routes.
