Precision Air has announced it would increase the number of flights it
makes daily to Arusha starting today in a bid to meet increasing demand and
gain from expanding activities that include linking the northern city to the
rest of the East Africa.
According to Precision Air commercial director Patrick Ndekana, there
will now be five daily flights to Arusha.
Besides the development, the Airline also announced that it would
increase its travel capacity to Mwanza by introducing use of Boeing 737-300 on
Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays in a bid to meet increasing demand.
He said the airline had experienced the pressure of increased domestic
and regional flight demands, particularly over the past quarter, prompting it
to expand its services.
“We have added two important regional routes - Lubumbashi and Lusaka over
the past two months both of which have resulted in stronger than expected
growth for the airline,” he said.
Currently Precision Air has grown to regional footprint of 16
destinations while also being strategically focused on further untapped
opportunities in the domestic market.
Already the company has announced cancelling its four weekly flights to
Johannesburg starting 17th September this year in order to enhance its domestic
operation in the country.
“We have decided to focus on the growing domestic demand and on more
lucrative markets,” said Mr Ndekana.
He also said the office has suspended Kigoma and Musoma operations due
to safety reasons and to allow for the ongoing construction of the Kigoma
airport runway, and that the routes will resume once renovations are over.
