Tanzania Tourism: Schedule and Private Charter Flights With Flightlink

Munawer Dhirani, Managing Director of Flightlink, presents the company and explains what are its competitive advantages. He also discusses why an investor in aviation, an airline, or a tourism player should partner with Flightlink.

“Flightlink started as a charter company in 2004 with one aircraft. Today, in 2016, we have eight airplanes. The brand Flightlink has definitely grown and continues to do so. In 2010, we embarked on flying scheduled flights. We started with Mbeya and Iringa as unexplored destinations. When I first started service to those areas, I was told that I was crazy by other operators. Today those destinations are booming. Flightlink has always been dynamic in what we are doing. Our safety records and levels are very good. We have young and good pilots. We only employ the best pilots with good training backgrounds. Flightlink is making good money which enables us to buy aircrafts every year. There is a huge demand for domestic flight presently. There is also very good demand for flying into other regions that are unserved. Because of our reliability and our brand, any investment that comes into Flightlink will be a good investment. As a company, we would like to have people investing in us so that we can expand gradually and at a good pace. We will continue to put all our effort into what we do. We specialize in tourist scheduled flying, and we will continue to do so well. With new partners, we can tap into other niche destinations that we are unable to at present because of our current capabilities. If we can obtain the right partners and finance and form a team, there will be a lot of work to be done. Markets like Mombasa and Mozambique are untapped markets from Tanzania. I have always wanted to connect to Victoria Falls from Serengeti. Victoria Falls to Zanzibar is my dream, but we need the right equipment, the right personnel and the right partners to do it”, says Munawer Dhirani.
