Air Tanzania Receives First Boeing 737 Max

American aircraft manufacturer Boeing has delivered a 737 Max to Air Tanzania. Specifically, it’s a 737-9 jet. This makes Tanzania’s flag carrier the first airline in Africa to own one of these single-aisle aeroplanes. The new inheritance will help the East African carrier aid the growing travel demand in West Africa, Southern Africa and India.

Presently, Air Tanzania operates flights across Africa and to countries in Asia with a fleet that includes two Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners and one 767-300 Freighter. The airline also awaits an additional 787-8 from Boeing.
