ZOMWE MUNGACHITE PA NKHANIYI:
- While the monopoly of Swissport as the sole handling agent at key Tanzanian airports has officially been lifted, and a few more licenses were granted last year, the reality is that it remains a quasi-monopoly, which is bringing huge profits and benefits to the shareholders, all of whom are known to overtly or covertly work on maintaining the status quo and keeping the competition at arm's length.
- This is a similar trend to Entebbe, where a dominant handling company pulls the strings and keeps charges way above Nairobi, too, prompting Air Uganda last year to seek the coveted “self-handling status,” which saved that company nearly a US$1million in fees and charges with the savings invested in their own equipment, along with creating more jobs at U7.
- Flights in and out of Tanzania's two main airports, Julius Nyerere International in Dar es Salaam and Kilimanjaro International outside Arusha, have last year grown by nearly a quarter, with cargo volumes still up by a remarkable 17 percent, all contributing to an increase in handling income for Swissport and the subsequent rise in profits.
