With intentions to use Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA) as a key airport for cargo landing; the Tanzanian government is about to purchase a new special cargo aircraft.
The special cargo Boeing 767-300F aircraft is to arrive in the nation in June 2023. This is according to the Deputy Minister for Work and Transport, helping to expand the cargo industry.
The Tanzanian government was prepared to reassess landing rates for all cargo aircrafts; as the Hai representative had suggested, in an effort to draw in more cargo business.
Currently, cargo arriving to KIA must be transported by passenger aircraft because Tanzania does not have a dedicated cargo aircraft with a set schedule to arrive there.
