Air transportation has come a long
way in the last few years in Tanzania. There are now daily
scheduled flights to many of the popular locations from Arusha.

planes. Arushas Municipal Airport can accommodate planes
of up to 45 passengers.

parks, beaches or Zanzibar may also use a number of international
airlines that service Dar es Salaam International Airport.
Zanzibar is served by international, charter and domestic
