The request for payment was made by the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA) directly to government, while also pointing out that fuel, handling, and other charges had been settled through governmental grants to the financially-starved airline, yet TCAA’s fees for parking, landing, and navigational fees, among others, have accrued beyond reason.
