Precision Air: Providing Connections to Tourists Visiting the Rich Natural Attractions of Tanzania

Patrick Mwanri, CEO of Precision Air, presents the airline. Established in 1993, Precision Air’s main services include; scheduled flights, chartered and cargo air services.

“We cover a wide range over our network. If you look at how the company was founded, it was mainly from the touristic destinations of Arusha, Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar, Seronera. We are reliable. If you look at our safety standards, we are the first IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit) certified airline in Tanzania and we have maintained our IOSA certification since we earned it in 2007. Last year, we did our last IOSA, and now we are analyzing some of the issues that they saw during the IOSA audit. We are also a publicly listed company. After the joint venture between us and Kenya Airways, we also sold some shares to the public. Everything with us is very transparent. We operate from Dar es Salaam to destinations like Mwanza, Mbeya, Arusha, Kilimanjaro, Bukoba, our capital city Dodoma, Mtwara, and the biggest National Park which is Seronera. We also have a lot of partnerships with big carriers like Kenya Airways, Etihad, KLM, and we have connection and interline partners. At the moment, you can book a flight with us from KLM or KQ and you can reach all the destinations where we operate. We also have the biggest maintenance facility and all our aircraft have been maintained by our engineers, except for Testo because we cannot do an engine overhaul, landing gear sets, those kinds of things. We also do third party maintenance activity for some other operators. We are also looking forward to making sure that we can do more for all the aircraft which are operating within Tanzania and we see that as an investment opportunity for us. For the past 27 years, we have been the people who have contributed a lot in terms of manpower skills in the country, not only for the locals, but also for the people who will be joining us from around the world. For the past 27 years, we have had many alumni of pilots and engineers. We are very happy that we could give something to the country, but also for the aviation sector”, says Patrick Mwanri.
