The United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) interest in Tanzania has received a major boost with the launch of direct Air Tanzania flights to Dubai.
This is good news for business travellers transacting business between Dar es Salaam and Dubai.
With a roundtrip ticket price of $530, it is by far the cheapest flight travellers from Tanzania to Dubai and vice versa will enjoy. There are almost twice as many global headquarters serving Africa as there are on the entire continent.
In this case, Dubai has become a major hub for business travel to and from Africa.
More than 30,000 African-owned companies now call this UAE commercial hub home. Tanzania fits in well in all this as a developing African country and a top tourist destination in East Africa.
When Will Air Tanzania Flights to Dubai Start?
Air Tanzania flights to Dubai start on March 31, 2023, with return tickets ranging from $530. This Tanzanian carrier will have four weekly flights to Dubai on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Dubai is a major tourist destination known for its luxurious offerings, shopping malls, and entertainment options. Easier access will attract more leisure tourists from Tanzania to Dubai, generating revenue for both the airline and the tourism industry.
Conversely, Tanzania is popular for its wildlife, beaches and Swahili culture which present massive investment opportunities. Thus, Air Tanzania is providing a scale-up for business tourism this year. Therefore; four weekly flights to and from Tanzania will facilitate business travel between Tanzania and Dubai.
Does Air Tanzania Fly to Dubai?
Air Tanzania launched its inaugural flight from Dar es Salaam to Dubai in October 2023. These flights connect to Nairobi in Kenya or Entebbe in Uganda before transiting to Dubai.
The most popular destination to and from Dubai is Kilimanjaro, a popular tourist hotspot in Arusha. Kilimanjaro International Airport operates Air Tanzania flights to Dubai. The best month to find the cheapest Kilimanjaro to Dubai Air Tanzania flights is without a doubt June. April according to the airline’s data has some of the most expensive airfares.
