Dubai’s fast growing carrier, flydubai, has started today the first of three routes into Tanzania, East Africa with their daily service to Dar es Salaam, the political capital of the country.

The service from Dubai International Airport will offer passengers the option of flydubai’s Business Class service for the flights to Julius Nyerere International Airport.

Dar Es Salam, translated from Arabic to English, means the ‘haven of peace’, is the economic heart of Tanzania and very much the ‘emotional’ capital, while the official capital is Dodoma.

The services into Tanzania expand with Kilimanjaro coming on stream tomorrow, with a twice weekly service from Dubai into Kilimanjaro, operating via Dar es Salaam.

On October 19th the airline will start a twice weekly service into Zanzibar Airport, again via Dar es Salaam.
