Tanzanian air carrier Precision Air (DSE:PAL) has confirmed that the relaunch of its direct flight from Dar es Salaam to Entebbe in Uganda will commence on 1st July 2017. 

The Commercial Director of Precision Air, Mr. Robert Owusu, explained that the relaunch of the route follows a market study that revealed a demand for flights between Tanzania and Uganda.

The airline will start with four flights per week every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Precision Air suspended flights to Entebbe back in 2013 during the route rationalisation process and network restructuring.

However, after the company completed the process, it concluded that Entebbe remains a worthy addition to its network.

Operating from Dar es Salaam Precision Air flies to Arusha, Bukoba, Kigoma, Kilimanjaro, Musoma, Mtwara, Mwanza, Tabora, Zanzibar and Nairobi.

Earlier this month, Dubai-based low-cost airline flydubai announced the start of direct flights from Dubai to Kilimanjaro from 29th October 2017.
