About Us : Air Tanzania Company Limited (ATCL) is the national
airline of Tanzania based in Dar es Salaam with its hub at Julius
Nyerere International Airport. The Company was established in 1977
following the dissolution of East African Airways and has been a member
of the African Airlines Association (AFRAA) since its inception.
Following its establishment, ATCL has gone through a number changes in
its structure and ownership as a result of the Government's efforts to
ensure that the country owns a strong national airline. The changes
include partial privatization of ATCL in 2002 when the Government
reduced its shareholding to 51 percent and entered into a partnership
with South African Airways (SAA). The partnership ended in 2006 when the
Government repurchased SAA shares to recapture its 100% ownership of
ATCL.
As the Government regained full ownership of ATCL, it invested heavily
in the ATCL operations' systems to enable ATCL operate efficiently
again. The Government efforts to rebuild ATCL, through various options,
continued until 2016 when it decided to develop a specific program for
revamping the ATCL. The ATCL revamping program included purchasing of
six new aircraft between 2016 and 2018, payment of debts and provision
of Startup capital, improvement and modernization of business systems.
The ATCL fleet improvement program included purchasing of six aircraft
as follows: three Bombardier DASH8 Q400, two delivered in September 2016
and one in June 2017; two Airbus A220-300 and one Boeing 787 Dreamliner
delivered between May and December 2018. By July 2018, ATCL will be
operating the fleet of seven aircraft as it has been operating one
Bombardier DASH8 Q300 since 2011.
With improved fleet, ATCL is confident to regain its position as a
serious competitor in the air transport market. The ongoing ATCL fleet
and network expansion program include destinations in Africa, Europe,
Asia, and US.
