Tanzania & Nigeria Launch First-Ever Direct Flights – A New Era for Africa

Tanzania and Nigeria have taken a bold step in strengthening African unity with the launch of direct flights between Dar es Salaam and Lagos. This historic move reduces travel time, boosts trade, tourism, and cultural exchange, and marks a new chapter in diplomatic relations. Operated by Air Tanzania’s Boeing 737 MAX 9, the non-stop flights run three times a week, offering faster, safer, and more convenient travel. Beyond convenience, this route supports the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM) vision, promoting intra-African connectivity and regional integration. Experts say this milestone will unlock economic opportunities, foreign investment, and people-to-people exchange, making it a game-changer for both nations and the continent.
