The Fruits of Diplomacy: Air Tanzania Launches Direct Moscow Flights!

•  A New Air Bridge Between Tanzania and Russia
• Direct Air Tanzania Flights Mark a New Chapter in Bilateral Relations

Today marks another important milestone in Tanzania's growing engagement with the international community. Air Tanzania has officially launched the first-ever direct flights connecting Tanzania and the Russian Federation, opening a new chapter in tourism, trade and people-to-people relations.

Operating with Air Tanzania's modern Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, the new service links Dar es Salaam - Moscow - Zanzibar, providing a faster and more convenient connection between the two countries. The airline is scheduled to operate the route three times every week, giving travelers unprecedented direct access between East Africa and one of the world's largest nations.

This development is much more than the inauguration of a new airline route. It represents another tangible outcome of the strengthening diplomatic and economic relationship between Tanzania and Russia. During her recent visit to St. Petersburg, President Samia Suluhu Hassan emphasized the importance of expanding cooperation in tourism, trade, investment and transport. The launch of these direct flights demonstrates that such high-level discussions are now translating into practical benefits for both nations.
