FastJet (T) yesterday launched their latest and second
international route when the inaugural flight took off on time at 10
a.m. from the Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam for
Lusaka / Zambia.
The flight which took just under 2 ½ hours – in comparison going by
bus, or worse by TAZARA rail connection, can take days at end – was
according to a report received overnight welcomed with open arms at the
Kenneth Kaunda International Airport in Lusaka, where a traditional
water cannon salute awaited the taxiing plane while the passengers were
greeted by traditional dancers and drummers.
One way tickets sell, EXCLUDING OF CHECKED BAGGAGE FEES, TAXES AND
OTHER REGULATORY CHARGES INCLUDED IN THE TICKET PRICE OF OTHER AIRLINES
on this route, as low as Tanzania Shillings 120.000 though this fare
requires advance booking and payment and increases when bookings are
done shortly prior to departure. FastJet is the second airline on the
Dar to Lusaka route after Proflight from Zambia launched their operation
a few months ago using a turboprop aircraft as opposed to FastJet’s
Airbus A319.
