Muscat International Airport has welcomed the inaugural direct Air Tanzania flight from Dar es Salaam, marking the first non-stop air link between Tanzania and Oman.
The airline will operate the route three times a week using Airbus A220-300 aircraft.
The launch was celebrated with an official ceremony
attended by senior government and aviation officials from both countries.
The new service is expected to strengthen air connectivity
between East Africa and the Gulf, cutting travel times while boosting tourism,
trade, investment and business travel.
The route was announced during the Tanzanian–Omani Tourism
Promotional Forum in Muscat and builds on the countries' longstanding
historical and cultural ties.
Air Tanzania said the service supports its tourism growth
strategy, while Oman Airports described it as a key step in expanding regional
connectivity.
Tanzania welcomed more than 29,000 visitors from Oman in the
first half of 2026, with demand expected to rise following the launch of the
new direct service. -TradeArabia News Service
