ZOMWE MUNGACHITE PA NKHANIYI:
- The 32-year-old aircraft, which first went into service in 1980 at British Airtours in the UK before migrating through half a dozen other owners or operators in Europe and South America, will cost the Tanzanian tax payer at least US$200,000 a month for an initial 3-month lease, as ATCL – against better advice once again it appears – committed to fly 150 hours a month at US$1,350 for each hour.
- Additionally, ATCL must meet the cost of upkeep for the crew, estimated to be in the region of a further US$80–100 per day, per individual, which while not out of range known from similar arrangements, still amounts to a significant cost outlay at a time when the airline only flies between Dar es Salaam – Kilimanjaro – Mwanza, funded by the Tanzanian taxpayer.
- Air Tanzania's last B737-200 suffered a premature end when involved in a crash in Mwanza, thankfully without the loss of life, but damaging the gear, hull, and at least one engine to the point of not being viable to repair.
