fastjet,
the low-cost pan-African airline, has increased the number of flights
on its growing international and domestic network from Dar es Salaam’s
Julius Nyerere International Airport, Tanzania, in response to strong
passenger demand.
fastjet
now offers daily flights on its international routes from Dar es Salaam
to Johannesburg, Harare and Lusaka, providing passengers with increased
and more convenient travel options at affordable fares.
It
has also doubled its flight frequency on the newly launched Dar es
Salaam – Lilongwe route from two to four flights per week, which follows
not long after the first flight took off between the two cities on 29
July 2015. fastjet’s Dar es Salaam and Kilimanjaro to Entebbe routes
remain at three times weekly schedules.
Domestically,
the airline will now offer up to five daily flights from Dar es Salaam
to Mwanza, up to four daily flights linking Dar es Salaam and
Kilimanjaro, two daily flights from Dar es Salaam to Mbeya, and daily
flights between Kilimanjaro and Mwanza.
The
new schedule will commence on 1 September 2015 for the Johannesburg
flights and mid-September for all other flights from Dar es Salaam.
Tickets for the additional flights are on sale already, with
international fares starting from as little as US$50 one-way, and
domestic fares for as little as US$20, excluding airport and government
taxes.
“We
have always promised to increase the frequency on our routes as and
when our customers demand it,” says Richard Bodin, Chief Commercial
Officer of fastjet. “The increased frequencies emphasize our commitment
to growing our network across Africa, making air travel easy, safe and
affordable.”
The
increased flight schedule is made possible by the introduction of
additional aircraft into the Tanzanian fleet later this month, making
the fleet a total of four A319 aircraft.
“We
really are thrilled at the positive reception that fastjet has enjoyed
across Africa,” said Bodin. “With our low-cost fares, fastjet is making
air travel more accessible than ever before, with many of our passengers
being first time flyers who would otherwise not have been able to
afford to travel by air.”
The
new schedule follows the airline’s recent operational announcement in
which it reported its highest monthly passenger numbers to date. During
the month of July, fastjet carried a total of 71,763 passengers, an
increase of 36% on the same month in the prior year. The load factor for
July was 72%, with punctuality remaining excellent with 95% of flights
arriving on time.
