Mr Owusu further explained that, Precision Air flights between DAR ES SALAAM and HAHAYA will strengthen the excellent trade relations while also encouraging tourist visits to the Comoros islands. Precision Air will operate three flights per week, every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
‘There is high movement of traders between Dar es Salaam and Hahaya. We are certain our flight will be a perfect product for them as we offer reliability and convenience to their business. Our tickets normally include one free piece up to 23 kg of checked in luggage which is a convenient offer for traders who are travelling with their goods‘ he then added in closing.
Precision Air’s flights are also expected to facilitate movement of tourists and sectoral experts from America, Europe and Arab countries.
