Air Tanzania and Kenya Airways initiate a new partnership

This news comes as ATCL anticipates receiving its first 54-ton Boeing 767-300 freighter before the end of this month. In a statement made public by ATCL yesterday, KQ Group managing director Allan Kilavuka, who recently visited Tanzania, suggested that the two airlines may work together in various capacities.

Top representatives from Kenya Airways (KQ) and Air Tanzania Company Limited (ATCL) have met to discuss the prospect of a cargo transportation collaboration. This report is courtesy of The Citizen Tanzania, a Tanzanian news agency.

“From the available freight, equipment, and expertise, if used properly, we will increase the value and reduce the operating costs of both ATCL and KQ. The presence of the Boeing 787-8 (Dreamliner) and the arrival of the Boeing 767-300F cargo plane open up more commercial opportunities,” said Mr Kilavuka.
