Air Tanzania (TC) received its first Boeing 767-300 Freighter at their hub in Dar es Salaam on June 03, 2023. The delivery is a milestone for both Air Tanzania and Boeing as it marks the first direct 767 Freighter delivery from Boeing to an African carrier. The airline has also ordered one Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner and two 737 MAX jets.

The 767-300 is capable of flying 3,255 nautical miles with a revenue payload of more than 52 tonnes, the 767-300 Freighter is the ideal airplane for growing e-commerce and express cargo markets.

We are looking forward to expanding our imports and exports industry that require timely delivery. The arrival of the airplane will open opportunities for global businesses to transport commercial cargo goods to various parts of the world, which will boost national economic growth.”
