The B767-300F has a range of 3,255 nautical miles and a revenue payload of more than 52 tonnes, making it ideal for the e-commerce and express markets.
Taking delivery of the freighter will help Air Tanzania expand imports and exports of perishable goods, pharmaceuticals and other products requiring fast delivery.
Ladislaus Matindi, Managing Director of Air Tanzania, says, “The 767 will enable Air Tanzania to support a journey towards a more sustainable future and time critical cargo schedules across Africa and beyond. We are looking forward to expanding our imports and exports industry that require timely delivery. The arrival of the airplane will open opportunities for global businesses to transport commercial cargo goods to various parts of the world, which will boost national economic growth.”
Anbessie Yitbarek, Vice President, Africa Sales and Marketing at Boeing Commercial Airplanes, says, “The 767 Freighter will enable Air Tanzania to significantly grow its existing operations with greater efficiency and flexibility across its network. Air Tanzania's cargo customers now have far more options as the airline boosts freight connectivity between Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.”
