Flight Bookings with Precision Air
OUR RECOMMENDATION
Precision Air was established in 1993. It started as a private charter air transport company operating a five-seater piper Aztec aircraft. Its initial line of business mainly entailed providing connections to tourists visiting the rich natural attractions of Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, in northern Tanzania, the Zanzibar Island in the Indian Ocean and other parts of the country from Arusha town as its base.
The fleet expansion has gone hand in hand with an increase in the volumes of passenger uplift. The past two years have witnessed a steady growth of total passenger uplift of about 27% rising from 268, 580 passengers in 2004/05 financial year to 340,000 in 2005/06. The projection in the airline’s current financial year which starts in April 01 is to uplift 388,348 equivalent to a 14% increase until end of the season in May next year. The most significant turn around of ‘Tanzania’s Finest’ as Precision Air is also known, came in 2003 when Kenya Airways acquired a minority 49% shareholding leaving majority 51% shares in the control of one local Tanzanian businessman. Since then, Precision Air has literally turned its image into a professionally run modern airline.The airline has since increased its frequencies and capacity many folds with its fleet currently comprising eight aircraft. They include four 47-seater ATR 42, one 70-seater ATR 72, one 64-seater ATR 72 and two LET 410. There are plans to phase out the LET series from this year and introduce the Boeing fleet.
The main gateway airports to East Africa and Zanzibar are:
Regionally, Precision Air flies to Nairobi and Mombasa in Kenya as well as to Blantyre and Lilongwe in Malawi in partnership with Kenya Airways and Air Malawi. In June last year Precision Air became the first airline ever to mount direct flights between Tanzania’s commercial capital, Dar es Salaam and Dubai. Plans are afoot to start operations to Pemba in Mozambique, Entebbe in Uganda as well as Hahaya in Comoro from July this year.
The airline issued its first e-ticket on March 27 this year to become the fifth airline in Africa to adopt this latest technology in the aviation industry. E-ticketing is a mandatory requirement for IATA member airlines to be implemented by December 2007.
