We Shall Resolve The Matter In 3 Days – Tanzania On Kenya Airways’ Flights To Dar

The Tanzanian government has said that the aviation standoff between Kenya and Tanzania will be resolved in 3 days and that discussions to resolve the matter have already kicked off.

“I spoke to my Kenyan colleague Musalia Mudavadi. We agree that air travel restrictions between our countries and from any of our countries to a third country shouldn’t stand.

With relevant authorities, we’ve resolved to settle this issue, per existing agreements, within 3 days,” said January Makamba, Minister of Foreign Affairs in Tanzania.

The sentiments of the Tanzanian Minister came shortly after the Tanzanian Civil Aviation Authority suspended Kenya Airways (KQ) from flying passengers to and from Dar es Salaam from January 22, 2023, as a protest against Kenya’s decision to stop cargo into Kenya via Air Tanzania.

Kenya Airways, on its part, has stated the issue:

“Kenya Airways (KQ) is aware of the Public Notice issued by the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority on 15th January 2024, rescinding the approvals of KQ to operate passenger flights between Nairobi and Dar es Salaam effective 22nd January 2024.

Kenya Airways is engaging the Civil Aviation Authorities and relevant government agencies in Kenya and Tanzania to find a solution to ensure no flight disruptions between Nairobi and Dar es Salaam.”
