In airworthiness terminologies, ‘suppliers’ means any source of components and material external to the approved maintenance organisation. These external sources could be distributors, other approved maintenance organisations, original equipment manufacturers (OEM), operators, etc.

Suppliers play an important role in the success of aviation industry.

The use of components from different suppliers enables aircraft maintenance organisations to carry out maintenance in a cost effective-manner by allowing them to benefit from the worldwide market competition.

Through worldwide market competition the industry gets suppliers who offer reliable, relevant, high-quality products and services that complement and augment aerospace industry technology.

However, acceptance of components from different sources has revealed several issues with suppliers for many years, such as the supply of unapproved parts or counterfeit parts, which may represent a risk to aviation safety.

Regulatory bodies i.e. CAAs provide clear requirements and guidance materials in order to ensure that the risks associated to the acceptance of components/parts from suppliers are mitigated. Maintenance organizations are required by the regulations to establish procedures for the acceptance of components/parts. Among the contents of such procedures include a supplier evaluation control procedures and acceptance/inspection of aircraft components and material from outside contractors.

Acceptance of components is a routine process in the daily activities of any approved maintenance organisation, therefore, clear requirements and detailed guidance material are necessary to ensure mitigating the risks associated to such process. Inadequate procedures or the lack of procedures on how to evaluate suppliers may result on the acceptance and installation by the maintenance organisation of non-conforming parts, unapproved parts and counterfeit parts. The worst foreseeable situation would be that the failure of the installed non-conforming or un-approved parts or counterfeit parts could have catastrophic consequences; however, this occurrence is considered improbable.

Proper evaluation and selection of suppliers helps reducing the number of findings detected by maintenance organisations during acceptance of components, such as components shipped with inadequate documentation, components non-conforming to the purchase order.

Maintenance organizations are required by regulations to keep the list of their approved suppliers. This list is always updated from time to time, meaning that adding and/or removing some of the suppliers accordingly.

One of the ways used by Maintenance organizations to get suppliers to keep into their lists is through the use of on-line suppliers’ directories and it’s always easy to source for suppliers through this way. Directories like http://www.airgetintouch.com provides a number of suppliers whereby maintenance organizations or individuals can easily find a suitable supplier pertinent to their needs.

Aviation suppliers contribute to aviation safety. Suppliers have a role to play in ensuring parts meet the airworthiness requirements and unairworthy aircraft parts are not supplied into the market. Every supplier must comply with relevant aviation safety regulations pertinent to aeronautical parts supply.

Dar es Salaam is Etihad Airways' third departure point in East Africa, along with Nairobi and Entebbe, and its ninth destination on the continent.

Etihad Airways Airbus A320 aircraft welcomed by traditional water-cannon salute at JNIA Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.

DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania - Etihad Airways, the Abu Dhabi-registered airline, has on Tuesday launched its daily flights to Tanzania, adding itself to the growing list of Middle East carriers eyeing Tanzanian and African airspace.

Operated by a two-class Airbus A320 aircraft with 16 Business Class and 120 Economy Class seats, the new service is designed to provide business and leisure travellers with a direct daily service between Dar es Salaam and Abu Dhabi, with convenient onward connections to key destinations in the GCC region, Europe, Indian Subcontinent, North Asia, Southeast Asia and Australia.

Etihad Airways joins the list of a growing number of Middle East registered airlines lobbying East African skies. Dar es Salaam will be Etihad Airways' 110th destination globally and its 11th destination in Africa and the Indian Ocean, reports from the airline’s head office in Abu Dhabi said.

“The launch of Etihad Airways’ flights to Dar es Salaam is consistent with our strategy of targeting areas of strong growth in emerging markets.  said Daniel Barranger, Etihad Airways’ senior vice president - global sales.

He added: “Dar es Salaam is a wonderful destination for tourists seeking to experience the great culture and history of Tanzania, and provides the gateway to numerous national and international tourist attractions, including Mount Kilimanjaro, the wildlife-rich national parks of the Serengeti, and the spice island of Zanzibar. 

“The UAE is also a major trading partner with Tanzania and our new point-to-point services strengthen the two-way flow of trade and commerce between the two countries. The flight scheduling offers guests convenient onward connections, and caters for the strong traffic flows between Tanzania and key destinations across our global network, such as Ahmedabad and Mumbai in India or Beijing and Shanghai in China.  

 “Not only does this service provide our guests with direct access to an exciting new business and tourism destination, it also further strengthens our presence in East Africa and across the African continent,”

The flights will be connecting the Tanzanian capital with 45 destinations across the Middle East, Europe, the Indian Subcontinent, North and Southern Asia and Australia through daily flights, the Etihad report said.

Taking advantage of the fast-growing air connection between East Africa and the Middle East, Tanzania is lobbying tourists and travel trade investments from the Gulf States and the rest of the Arab World.

A team of tourist business stakeholders and marketing officials from Tanzania visited Dubai and other Middle East states last year, looking for potential tourists and investors in tourism from the Gulf States and invited them to invest in Tanzania’s fast-growing tourist industry, taking advantage of the Middle East airlines new routes.

Tanzania Tourist Board had launched marketing campaigns to attract visitors from the Gulf States through these airlines.

Hotel and accommodations, hunting and camping safaris are areas of tourist investment and the Tanzania Tourist Board is looking to market them in the Gulf States. Although the number of Arab tourists to East Africa is not as big as the European and American holidaymakers, there has been a notable number of hunting tourists from the Middle East to Tanzania and the rest of East Africa.

About 15,000 tourists from the Gulf visit East Africa every year.

Although small in numbers, East African nations are taking advantage of the Middle East-registered airlines to be a lifeline for Arab-speaking holidaymakers.

Airlines registered in Middle Eastern states that are flying to Tanzania include Emirates Airlines, Qatar Airways, Oman Air, Turkish Airlines and Fly Dubai, which are the most competitive over Tanzania’s airspace.

Middle East-registered airlines have taken over the Tanzanian airspace from the traditional European-based airlines which had pulled out their flights between key European cities and Dar es Salaam.

Among European carriers that pulled their flights out of Tanzania are SAS (Scandinavian), Sabena, Air France, Lufthansa, Aeroflot (Russia), Alitalia and British Airways.

Only two European-registered airlines currently fly to Tanzania - Swiss International Airlines and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

Boeing has achieved a major milestone toward the entry into service of the 787-10, the largest variant of the Dreamliner family, as the company announced yesterday the completion of its detailed design.

The airframer announced that this program stage was reached nearly two weeks ahead of schedule, which “means the information needed to build parts and tools for assembly has been completed and released for fabrication or procurement.” Boeing expects to start the assembly of the 787-10 in 2016, followed by the first flight in 2017.  The first delivery is scheduled for 2018 to United Airlines. The largest operators of the variant will be Singapore Airlines and Etihad Airways, with 30 aircraft each.

“With the 787-10, we are building upon our experience and the 787-9 design itself to create this newest member of the super-efficient 787 family,” said Ken Sanger, vice president of 787 Airplane Development. “Through our dedicated team and our disciplined processes, we have optimized the design for the needs of the market and are excited as we look forward to production.”

The 787-10 is a stretched version of the 787-9, which was first delivered to Air New Zealand in 2014. Ken Sanger, vice president of 787 Airplane Development. said Boeing is “building upon our experience and the 787-9 design itself” on the 787-10. According to the company, 95% of the design and build of the 787-10 and 787-9 will be identical, thus reducing production costs and risks across the production system.

The 787-10 will be built exclusively at Boeing’s North Charleston, located in South Carolina. The aircraft will have a range of 6,430 nautical miles (11,908 kilometers), and In standard configuration, it will accommodate 323 passengers, which is 33% more than the capacity of 787-8 and 15% more than 787-9. and in standard configuration, it will accommodate 323 passengers, which is 33% more than the capacity of 787-8 and 15% more than the 787-9. To date, customers have placed orders for 164 787-10s, equivalent to 14% of all 787 orders.

FASTJET has recorded a slight drop of its passengers for October and November in Tanzania attributed to what they described as prolonged effects of October General Election in Tanzania.

The airline carried 62,843 passengers during the month, with the load factor – a measure of how full its aeroplanes were – down three points from the previous month to 60 per cent.

It attributes the decline to the October General Election saying it resulted in muted demand from government and civil service. “Primarily due to the prolonged effect of the presidential election in Tanzania, which has yet to result in Cabinet being appointed or a budget being agreed.

This has reduced demand from governmental and civil service traffic, and had an adverse effect on travel more widely in the country.,” Fastjet Chief Executive Officer, Ed Winter was quoted in a statement.

“Whilst we remain mindful of the temporary reduction in demand in Tanzania, we expect that this will improve in the New Year when the political environment stabilises.

Severe weather in November led to a slight reduction in punctuality, with 84 per cent of Fastjet’s Tanzania flights arriving on time; however, the weather in Zimbabwe was more clement, and all of Fastjet’s Zimbabwe flights arrived on time in what was the first month of operation in the country.

“We are delighted that Fastjet Zimbabwe has been well received in its first month of operation. Passenger’s feedback has been positive and we look forward to expanding that network,” said Chief Executive, Ed Winter.

During the month, Fastjet also launched new route between Dar es Salaam, Johannesburg and Zanzibar. Tickets for the new route are currently on sale, with operations commencing in January 2016 with daily flights between Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar. “The exciting launch of new route between Dar es Salaam, Johannesburg and Zanzibar links the stunning island with two thriving commercial centres.

Zanzibar, year-round holiday destination, has recently enjoyed increased popularity, especially in South Africa. We expect to attract new passengers to Fastjet in both Tanzania and South Africa with our affordable fares and reliable air services,” Winter said.

Investor concerns are likely to focus on the core Tanzanian services, however, and here Winter offered some hope, expressing confidence that things would pick up in the New Year when the political environment stabilises.

“Our ‘one day anniversary sale’ on 30 November, produced some excellent results, filling many seats into early 2016,” Winter revealed.

A section of JKIA’s Terminal 1A.

Kenya hopes to start direct commercial flights to the United States by May after it met most of the requirements set by an international aviation authority, Transport minister James Macharia on Wednesday.

The country wants to boost exports to Washington and increase visits by American tourists, with direct flights being a part of a package of deals announced during US President Barack Obama's visit in July.

"We shall get direct flights to the US by May this year," Mr Macharia said.

Mr Macharia said several airlines were keen to offer direct flights between Kenya and the United States. Delta Airlines previously set a launch date for flights but cancelled due to security concerns. Kenya Airways also plans to offer direct flights.

Jomo Kenyatta International Airport scored 88 per cent when it was assessed by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) last September, the minister said, disclosing the score for the first time.

Inspectors from the US Federal Aviation Administration are expected to complete their audit of the airport before the end of March, he said.

The Acting Director General of the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA), Mr Charles Chacha, has been suspended while two other senior officials have been transferred following discovery of massive financial and procurement irregularities at the authority.

The TCAA officials who will be assigned other duties are; Principal Treasurer, Mr Said Mteule and the Procurement Manager, Mr Said Kaswella, who alongside Mr Chacha, have been removed to pave way for further investigations into the said irregularities. 

During an impromptu visit by two ministers to TCAA headquarters in Dar es Salaam yesterday, the Minister for Works, Transport and Communication, Prof Makame Mbarawa and the Finance and Planning Minister, Dr Philip Mpango, said disciplinary measures taken against the officials resulted from unclear transactions in the purchase of aircraft guiding equipment known as Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) valued at Euro 1.5 million, but remained out of order since installation in November, last year.

After nearly two hours of in-door discussion with TCAA departments managers, Mr Mbarawa told the media that he had suspended the TCAA Acting DG for incompetence as far as managing revenue collection and procurement procedures are concerned.

The finance minister was adamant on collection of government revenue, insisting that all institutions with obligation to collect revenue should comply and avoid lavish spending.

"I have directed the internal auditor to conduct special auditing within two weeks to establish the financial trend, in addition to verification by PPRA on the degree of adherence to procurement procedures.

With the Fifth Phase Government, there will be no let up on revenue collection," Dr Mpango insisted.

THE Director General of the Tanzania Airports Authority (TAA), Engineer Suleiman Said Suleiman (pictured), is no more; he died while on a swimming workout in the Indian Ocean on Monday morning at Kigamboni in Dar es Salaam.

The late TAA Director General, Engineer Suleiman Said Suleiman

According to TAA’s Director of Legal Affairs and Communications, Mr Ramadhan Maleta, the TAA boss had a routine of taking a swimming exercise every morning before reporting to work.

“On his routine work out on Monday at between 06:00 and 07:00 in the morning, one of the people he was swimming with realised that Eng Suleiman had lost balance and together with other people they helped him out of the water,” Mr Maleta explained.

He was thereafter rushed to Aga Khan Hospital for treatment where he was pronounced dead upon arrival. “We at TAA are mourning the loss of an exemplary leader with vast experience in management of airports,” Mr Maleta said with grief.

He described the late Suleiman as a loving person who knew by names almost all employees of TAA across the country. Among others, Eng Suleiman will be remembered for spearheading construction of Terminal 3, which is nearing completion at the Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA) in Dar es Salaam.

The deceased is survived by wife and three children. He was laid to rest yesterday at the Kisutu graveyard in the city.

He worked in the airport industry for over 30 years in positions such as Airport Civil Engineer at the Dar es Salaam International Airport and Senior Engineer for Design and Planning at the Directorate of Aerodromes.

Eng Suleiman also worked as Chief Engineer in the Directorate of Aerodromes at the Ministry of Communications and Transport as well as Director of Engineering and Technical Services at the TAA.

He held other positions such as Board Chair of the Dar es Salaam Water and Sewerage Company (DAWASCO) and a member of the Board of Directors at Air Tanzania Company Ltd (ATCL) along with being the Chairman of the Board of Directors at SN-Tech (T) Ltd.

Eng Suleiman obtained his Masters of Business Administration (MBA) from Maastrict/ ESAIMI and his Diploma in Port Management from the University of New Orleans.

He also obtained his Diploma in Airport Engineering at the Civil Aviation Training Centre in Singapore and his Bachelors of Engineer from the University of Mysore in India.

In a bid to boost the country’s aviation industry manpower, National Institute of Transport has started a bachelor’s degree in aircraft maintenance and plans for a similar course for pilots.

NIT Rector Dr Zacharia Mganilwa said the country aviation industry is facing shortage of qualified personnel hence many plane owners service their equipment in abroad.

“In this academic year we have started a new bachelor’s degree course of aircraft maintenance and engineering and before end of the year we could add another training course for pilots,” Dr Mganilwa said.

He said the aim is to see more aircraft engineers and pilots are available in the domestic market so that plane owners should not seek such services abroad.

He added: “In this academic year we have so far enrolled about 40 students who are taking bachelor’s degree in aircraft maintenance and engineering. Many of the Tanzanian pilots and aircraft engineers are almost retiring, that’s why we need new blood in the industry.”

  

Meanwhile Works, Transport and Communication Minister, Prof Makame Mbarawa will next Saturday inaugurate an aircraft hangar at NIT.

Dr Mganilwa said construction of their state-of-art aircraft hangar is part of NIT’s efforts to boost training of aviation industry engineers and pilots.

He said the aircraft hangar will provide space for a hands on training to students who are pursuing aircraft engineering degree courses.

Supporting the NIT Rector’s arguments, Dodoma based Central Aviation Services Ltd, Accountable Manager, Heri Shekighenda admitted that the country is facing shortage of aircraft engineers which forces some of the aircraft operators to service their planes abroad.

“It’s true that we have very few aircraft engineers in the market, I believe National Institute of Transport will make it possible have more qualified people that will provide aircraft services,” Shekighenda said.

NIT will produce 200 aircraft engineers within the next five years to support the aviation industry which is growing at 12 percent annually.

Currently most of the engineers and pilots are trained abroad especially in South Africa at an average cost of 100m/- each.

Iran officials have signed two agreements with Airbus covering new aircraft orders and a comprehensive civil aviation co-operation package. The agreements were signed at the Élysée Palace, Paris, during Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s official visit to France with French President François Hollande.

Iran Air has signed an agreement with Airbus for the acquisition of the full range of new Airbus airliners (73 widebodies and 45 single aisle). This includes pilot and maintenance training and support services to help the entry into service and efficient operations of these new aircraft.

In parallel the Minister of Roads and Urban Development, Dr. Abbas Ahmad Akhoundi, has signed a comprehensive co-operation agreement as part of the country’s modernisation of its civil aviation sector, to support the development of air navigation services (ATM), airport and aircraft operations, regulatory harmonization, technical and academic training, maintenance, repair and industrial cooperation.

These two agreements took place as part of the implementation of the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action) on January 16th 2016, and its associated rules and guidance.

The agreement for 118 new aircraft signed by Mr Farhad Parvaresh, Iran Air Chairman and CEO, includes 21 A320ceo family, 24 A320neo family, 27 A330ceo family, 18 A330neo (-900), 16 A350-1000 and 12 A380.

"Today’s announcement is the start of re-establishing our civil aviation sector into the envy of the region and along with partners like Airbus we’ll ensure the highest world standards,” said Mr Farhad Parvaresh, Iran Air Chairman and CEO.

“The skies have cleared for Iran’s flying public and Airbus is proud to welcome Iran’s commercial aviation back into the international civil aviation community. Today is a significant step in the overhaul and modernisation of Iran’s commercial aviation sector and Airbus stands ready to play its role in supporting it,” said Fabrice Brégier, Airbus President and CEO.

Airbus is the world’s leading aircraft manufacturer of passenger airliners, ranging in capacity from 100 to more than 500 seats. Airbus has design and manufacturing facilities in France, Germany, the UK, and Spain, and subsidiaries in the US, China, India, Japan and in the Middle East. In addition, it provides the highest standard of customer support and training through an expanding international network.

A flight attendant serving passengers. (Shutterstock)

Up above the world so high, flight attendants are expected to be nothing but courteous and professional.
 
They are the ones who spend the most amount of time with passengers than any other airline employee, and tend to a wide variety of needs and requests.

They make sure the journey is trouble free that also includes tolerating all kinds of behaviour that gets under their skin.

So what passenger habits annoy flight attendants the most?

Being rude

In a thread on Quora, flight attendant Paula Mitchell rattled off a long list of annoyances, and the one that stands out the most is rudeness.

Lack of basic etiquettes annoy her the most, 'clicking fingers at me to get my attention' topped her list.

She is also fed up with passengers who orders instead of politely adding 'Please' or 'Thank you', or talk too loudly over the pre-flight safety demonstration.

Another thing of annoyance - 'ringing the call bell to ask for a glass of water even though you are sitting two rows behind the galley.'

Lame questions

Attendant Diana De Souza Leão says general questions that they have already been answered annoys him the most. Like asking what's in the menu.

This one in particular a peeve for Durand as well, especially in cabins where passengers are handed a physical menu.

In response to that question, she sarcastically wrote in the Quora thread: 'Well, it's on the menu I gave you 40 minutes ago. Along with our beverages list, by the way.'

My connecting flight

Of all the questions asked by travellers, this is one of the most common.

Diana De Souza Leão feels annoyed, 'when they ask me to predict the future for them: Will I make my connection?'

'First of all you have not even told me where you are going, secondly it was shown in the welcome video on which channel you can find ALL of the information you could possibly need for this flight and any future flights you would want information about.'

Flight attendant Julien Durand had this advice: 'Look at the information on the screen in front of you, very often you'll find the estimated time of arrival, and on some companies, info about your own connecting flight.'

Oversize bags

Anna Alapatt, a former crew member pointed out passengers bringing too much luggage on board and expecting a flight attendant to pick it up and make it fit is discourteous.

Why would you carry your baggage all the way from home to the airport and then complain it's too heavy to put up in the bin and then expect your flight attendant to do it?

And then there are passengers who refusal to put bags in the overhead bins, hogging the overhead bins with their own bags, showdowns when attendants insist you check them.

Irresponsible parents

Flight attendants are by no means supposed to take care of your children. It is not in the job description nor does every flight attendant even like children. Your children are your responsibility not a flight attendant's.

Paula Mitchell said she gets annoyed when kids 'run wild' up and down the aisles or are constantly 'getting under our feet'.

Some parents have even handed her a baby's dirty nappy or used sick bag.

Baby food on board?

Parents often have to carry more than other passengers – from a pram to baby clothes, to breast milk to bottled baby food.

Yet some seem to think they can rely on the airline to provide special food for their child.

Julien Durand said she gets annoyed when 'the mother of a toddler asks me if there is food for her baby on board. What kind of mother doesn't bring her baby's food?'

Where are the toilets?

This is where Durand seemed really annoyed.

Irony was dripping from her response, 'Right behind the door that has the word 'toilets' written on it in at least two languages, under the luminous sign that says 'toilets', where everyone seems to be waiting in line after the meal, usually at the back, in the middle or at the front of the cabin.'

Smelly feet

It seems flights are the perfect time to air these puppies out

Like fellow passengers, flight attendants also hate it when someone removes their shoes on a flight.

Mitchell said she gets annoyed when a passengers removes his or her shoes and socks, 'therefore, in some cases, creating a smelly cabin environment'.

She also hates it when passengers go into the lavatory without shoes or when they go into the toilet and 'treat it like a day spa'.

The Aviation Safety Council (ASC) of Taiwan has issued their investigation report into the loss of TransAsia Airways (TNA) ATR 72-500 B-22810 on 23 July 2014 during an attempted landing in poor weather.  It highlights a number of important safety lessons.

The Accident

During a non-precision approach, after around 34 minutes of holding, the aircraft impacted terrain in a residential area 800m NE  of the threshold of runway 20 at Magong Airport, Penghu Islands, Taiwan during a heavy thunderstorm associated with Typhoon Matmo. Ten of the 58 on board survived.

The Commander was Pilot Flying  (age 60, ex-military, joined airline in 1992, ATPL, 22,994 hours total, 19,070 hours on ATR42/72) and the First Officer (FO) was Pilot Monitoring (age 39, direct recruit by the airline in 2011, CPL, 2,393 hours total, 2,084 hours on ATR42/72).

There was no approach briefing before commencing descent and the FO “proposed that he conducted the before landing check by himself without a cross-check”, which the Commander approved.

The ASC say the Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) occurred because:

The crew continued the approach below the [330ft] minimum descent altitude (MDA) when they were not visual with the runway environment contrary to standard operating procedures.

GE222′s altitude and track deviations (due to the PF’s left control inputs and crosswind) while attempting to visually locate the runway (Credit: ASC)

When the aircraft had descended to 249 feet, the first officer illustrated the position of the [Missed Approach Point] MAPt by saying “we will get to zero point two miles”. At 1905:44, altitude 219 feet, the captain disengaged the autopilot. Four seconds later, the captain announced “maintain two hundred”. The captain maintained the aircraft’s altitude between approximately 168 and 192 feet in the following 10 seconds… The flight crew intentionally operated the aircraft below the MDA…while attempting to visually sight the runway so they could land the aircraft.

Neither flight crew member recognised the need for a missed approach until the aircraft was at just 72ft, 0.5 nm beyond the MAPt, where impact with the terrain was “unavoidable”.

Further accident site photos can be found here and here.

Having discussed the effect of a cockpit gradient, the ASC note that in interviews with other TransAsia crews the consensus was that “the occurrence first officer would accommodate the captains’ flying habits, and tended not to challenge captains’ landing decisions”.  We have previously discussed whether it is better for the Commander to be the Pilot Flying or the Pilot Monitoring and this accident re-emphasises that question.  However, we do note below that the FO did intervene after several course, mode and communication errors by the Commander.

Ajali za ndege zimekuwa zikitokea mara chache sana ukilinganisha na ajali za vyombo vingine vya usafiri kama vile magari, treni pikipiki n.k. Hii ni kutokana na udhibiti wa hali ya juu kutoka kwa mamlaka zinazohusika na kusimamia utengenezaji na uendeshaji wa vyombo vya angani, ambapo kwa hapa kwetu mamlaka husika ni Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA).
TCAA ni miongoni mwa mamlaka zenye nguvu kiutendaji hali iliyopelekea kutambulika na mamlaka zingine duniani kwa usimamizi wake thabiti wa usalama wa safari za angani hapa Tanzania.

Anga la Tanzania ni salama kwa safari za ndege na ndio maana mashirika makubwa ya ndege duniani kama vile Qatar, Emirates, KLM, Air France, Oman air, Ethiopian airlines, Flydubai, Etihad, KQ n.k yanafanya safari zao kuja hapa Tanzania.

Pamoja na kuwa ajali za ndege huwa hutokea chache lakini madhara yake huwa ni makuwa sana na pengine kushinda hata ajali za vyombo vingine. Hii ni kutokana na ukweli kwamba nyingi ya ajali za ndege hupelekea watu wote wanaokuwepo katika chombo husika kupoteza maisha.

Mfano wa ajali mbaya ya ndege kuwahi kutokea ni ajali ya ndege ya shirika la ndege la Msumbiji, LAM Airlines, aina ya Embrear 190 iliyotengenezwa oktoba 2012. Ajali hii ilitokea tarehe 29/11/2013, ambapo ndege hiyo yenye usajili C9-EMC ilikuwa ikifanya safari namba 470  kutoka Maputo, Msumbiji kuelekea Luanda, Angola. Ndege hii ikiwa na abiria 27, marubani 2, wahudumu 3 pamoja na fundi 1, ilianguka nchini Namibia katika mbuga ya hifadhi ya wanyama ya Bwabwata. Watu wote 33 waliokuwepo katika ndege hiyo walipoteza maisha palepale ambapo ndege iliungua yote na kubaki majivu.

Taarifa za uchunguzi wa ajali hii zilionesha kuwa rubani aliidondosha ndege hii kwa makusudi.

Iwapo utapenda kujua zaidi juu ya nini kilichotokea, na kwanini rubani akaamua kuidondosha ndege hii, basi tupatie maoni yako nasi tutakujuza zaidi.

PrecisionAir ATR 42 Reg. 5H-PWH MSN 1001, parked outside Precision Air AMO hangar.

PrecisionAir became the first airline in Tanzania to have successfully undergone a five phase re-certification process and get an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) plus Approved Maintenance Organisation (AMO) certification by Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA).

Speaking in Dar es Salaam, the airline’s Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Sauda Rajab said her company received the two important documents after a three months TCAA inspection of facilities and verification of operating manuals process.

“It was a lengthy and involving process which fortunately took only three and a half months although it can sometimes take up to two years,” said Sauda. She pointed out that PrecisionAir can now fly any route within the country and service own ATR family of aircraft.

“It means a lot to us in terms of safety of our equipment, qualifications and experience of our crew which then translates to safety of our passengers and goods,” she pointed out.

She noted that with the AMO certificate the airliner can now service its own aircraft and avoid paying hard currency to have them serviced abroad. “We have been spending a lot of money to service our planes abroad but now this will be done by our own engineers here,” the GMD cum CEO pointed out.

She also hinted that PrecisionAir management will be looking into establishing aircraft maintenance as a separate business in the near future.

The company’s Technical Director, Gennaro Sicurezza said PrecisionAir has good engineers who can service their planes locally but also a team of highly motivated pilots and cabin crew members.

“We are proud to say that a local Tanzanian airline can offer competent services of global standards,” Sicurezza said noting that most Tanzanians have the skill and knowledge to fly passenger jetliners and service them.

He said as the company moves to seek EASA certificate, it will train more of its engineers abroad to acquire skills that will enable the company service latest global passenger planes. “We will send our engineers to Europe starting this year to undergo training in services other types of aircraft,” Sicurezza noted.

PrecisionAir is a member of International Air Transport Association (IATA) which audits the airline every two years to ensure that it complies with global safety standards, a key factor for all its members.

IATA is the trade association for the world’s airlines, representing some 260 airlines or 83 percent of total air traffic. 

PrecisionAir is the only Tanzanian airline that has passed and attained the IATA Operator Safety Audit (IOSA) certification.

The Zimbabwe national flag carrier, Air Zimbabwe, will resume a scheduled service between Harare International Airport (HRE) in Harare and Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Effective 14 May 2016, the airline will initially operate two flights per week on Tuesdays and Saturdays on board an Airbus A320 between the two cities.

The airline seeks to tap into the growing trade between the two countries.

Air Zim spokesperson Shingai Dhliwayo confirmed the opening of the new route.

“We will start flying into Dar es Salaam on May 14 as we want to help cross-border traders and business travellers flying between the two countries,” she said.

Dhliwayo added: “The airline has a generous baggage limit of 40 kilogrammes per passenger and this should come in handy for the flying public.”

The return trip fare would be starting from $400 per person, with flights every Tuesday and Saturday.

The new route will put AirZim in direct competition with budget airline FastJet that also plies the route, but charges passengers according to the baggage they are carrying.

Dar es Salaam will become the third regional destination that AirZim has scheduled flights to after Johannesburg and Lusaka.

Dhliwayo said the airline was consolidating its position on the regional routes as it aims to start flying long haul flights to Europe and Far East.

“The airline remains determined to re-open its direct flights to London and China in the near future as resources become available and when an agreement with a strategic partner is concluded,” she said.

Air Mauritius has added Dar es Salaam and Maputo to its regional network, as the airline starts 1 weekly flight each, using Airbus A319 aircraft.

On 4 May the carrier began weekly (Wednesday) flights on the 2,633-kilometre route to Maputo (MPM) in Mozambique. The return flight operates via Durban.

On 6 May, it began weekly (Friday) flights on the 2,494-kilometre route to Dar es Salaam (DAR) in Tanzania. Return flights on this route operate via Nairobi.

Both routes will be flown by one of the airline’s two A319s and neither faces direct competition.

Megh Pillay, CEO of Air Mauritius, said: “African economies have shown remarkable resilience to the global crisis. Their growth rates have been consistently higher than the global average. The expansion of our network on the African continent is a step to address the need for more air connectivity. These new flights will contribute in feeding the Air Corridor that links Africa and Asia via the hubs of Mauritius and Singapore.”

Created in 1967, Air Mauritius currently operates a fleet of six A340s, two A330-200s, two A319s and two ATR 72-500s and flies to 21 destinations in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and the Indian Ocean.

Planned operational schedule and routing as follow.

The Government of Zambia is disappointed that Fastjet has withdrawn its intentions to set up operations in Zambia.

Zambian Transport and Communications Minister, Kapembwa Simbao said the newly-appointed executive chairperson of Fastjet informed the Government that the new management had decided to shelve the Zambia investment portfolio owing to unfavorable global economic conditions.

He said Fastjet remained committed to invest in Zambia once the negative economic conditions changes.

"While Government is considering establishing its own airline to help diversify the economy, we stand ready to invite new investors in the domestic aviation sector," Mr Simbao said.
