Dar es Salaam-based Air Tanzania is thinking of adding more Airbus A220 aircraft to its current fleet. The news of the expansion comes amidst the current COVID-19 medical emergency, with many airlines looking to consolidate rather than expand. Former Tanzanian President John Magufuli, who passed away last month, had big plans for state-owned Air Tanzania.

Like many a leader in underdeveloped counties, John Magufuli planned to use the state and the state alone to bring prosperity to the African nation. Hellbent on promoting outrageous mega infrastructure projects during his 2015 election campaign, Magufuli promised to revive Air Tanzania and make it an airline the nation could be proud of.
