The company first launched scheduled services to Tanzania
with two weekly flights to Dar es Salaam in January 2007, which has now grown
to 19 weekly flights operated by a combination of Boeing 787 and Airbus A320
aircrafts.
In its statement yesterday, Qatar Airways Vice-President,
Africa, Hendrik du Preez, said: "We have long been proud to serve Tanzania
and connect this beautiful country to our global network.
"Our 15-year anniversary further solidifies our
relationship with Tanzania and the huge potential the Dar es Salaam route has
shown throughout the years. This was especially the case at the height of the
pandemic, when Dar es Salaam was in high demand during this period.
He said the company looks forward to many more years of
connecting travellers from around the world to experience Tanzania's unique
cultural offerings and wildlife.
The airline held an event at the Dar es Salaam Airport on 14
January 2022 to mark their 15th anniversary.
He said Qatar Airways continues to support businesses and
leisure travellers, allowing them to connect seamlessly to their favourite
destinations via an expanding network across Europe, Indian Sub-continent and
Americas.
Qatar Airways Cargo also supports the trade of items such as
fish, meat and flowers to destinations on the Qatar Airways network, including
Hong Kong, Qatar and the Netherlands, and imports goods such as technology and
pharmaceuticals.
The national carrier of the State of Qatar continues to
rebuild its network, which currently stands at over 140 destinations, including
Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar in Tanzania.
Dar es Salaam operates two flights daily to Doha and in
addition to one daily flight.
Qatar Airways was recently announced as the 'Airline of the
Year' at the 2021 World Airline Awards, managed by the international air
transport rating organisation, Skytrax.
