This move is seen as a response to Kenya’s refusal to allow Tanzania’s airline, Air Tanzania Company Limited (ATCL), to operate cargo flights between Nairobi and third countries. <\/p>\n
The Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA) cited this rejection as a violation of the 2016 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Air Services, specifically Section 4, which outlines reciprocal treatment for airlines. <\/p>\n
TCAA Director General Hamza S. Johari stated that the decision is based on the principle of reciprocity, emphasizing Tanzania’s commitment to international aviation regulations and bilateral agreements. <\/p>\n
This suspension follows a brief ban on Kenya Airways flights by Tanzania in August 2020 after Tanzanians were excluded from Kenya’s list of countries exempt from Covid-19 quarantine restrictions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
