Boeing and Air Tanzania have joined in celebration as the airline receives its first 767-300 Freighter. The aircraft has arrived at Air Tanzania’s hub in Dar es Salaam, marking a significant milestone in the carrier’s ability to cater to the growing cargo market in the country. This delivery is also notable as it represents Boeing’s first direct 767 Freighter delivery to an African carrier.
The 767-300 Freighter offers excellent fuel efficiency, operational flexibility, and low noise levels. These features will enable Air Tanzania to support time-sensitive cargo schedules across Africa and beyond. With a range of 3,255 nautical miles and a revenue payload capacity of over 52 tonnes, the 767-300 Freighter is well-suited for the growing e-commerce and express cargo markets. As Air Tanzania aims to expand its imports and exports, especially for perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, and other time-sensitive products, this dedicated freighter will play a vital role.
