Fastjet servicing Dar Es Salam to Lusaka

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.
