High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Air Tanzania Company Ltd, trading as Air Tanzania, is the state-owned, national airline of Tanzania. Its main base is Julius Nyerere International Airport, Dar es Salaam. Although established in 1977, when it served a variety of national and international destinations, its history has been marked by a series of aborted privatisations, alliances and leasing contracts. Air Tanzania is unprofitable and, despite being the national airline, only offers a few intermittent domestic services that are dominated by their competitors, especially Precision Air.
