“Three years ago, we embarked on an expansion plan that would see us expand our network across the region as well as grow our fleet. We had to put on hold some of the plans due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We are excited to launch these two new routes, and look forward to what is to come,” said Vincent Rague," Chairman, Jambojet.
The airline is taking advantage of the huge opportunity the African market has to offer, and the rising demand for air connectivity in the region.
“There is a growing demand for air transport across the continent, with the International Air Transport Association projecting that Africa will become one of the fastest growing aviation regions within the next 20 years, with an average annual expansion rate of almost five per cent. We are keen to be part of this growth,” Rague affirmed.

The airport which currently only allows planes to land and take off during day time due to absence of lights on the taxiing way and other navigation tools, is in the final stages of putting in place the facilities according to Deputy Minister at Ministry of Communications, Works and Transport, Mwita Waitara.

Waitara said last week that the over 20bn/- airport in the Southern Highlands has been undergoing construction for many years but that his ministry wants to see the contractor finish all final touches before the end of the year.

“Right now we have already installed a modern radar system which is located 20 kilometres away from Songwe Airport to improve communication surveillance and safety of aircraft,” Waitara said adding that the airport will have advanced communication equipment to allow smooth landing and take-off of all types of planes from around the globe.

“This airport will also be equipped world class cargo and passenger handling equipment with all features of safety and security in place to ensure that people and their property are safe from natural and man-made disaster such as terror attacks,” he added.

Waitara pointed out that currently, the contractor is proceeding well with the fixing of airport lighting system on the taxiing and take-off ways with runways also undergoing final touches before allowing both international and domestic planes to start landing after dusk.

“We as government want to see this airport operating for 24 hours because it’s an international airport that will allow international flights touching down here,” the Deputy Minister stated while adding that the government is committed to continue investment in modern infrastructure to allow smooth movement of cargo and people across the country.

According to Tanzania Airports Authority, Songwe Airport which was opened in December 2012 to take over functions of the Old Mbeya Airport which had served the Southern Highlands since colonial, is among 59 airports managed, maintained and operated by TAA. The Airport is in the Group II Airports and its license was valid till 31st August 2020. It handles both domestic and international flights.

MUHAS, SUA, NIMR link up to develop Covid-19 jab​

MUHAS, SUA, NIMR link up to develop Covid-19 jab

THE Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Science (MUHAS) and the National Institute of Medical Research (NIMR) have joined forces to develop a Covid-19 vaccine.




Speaking during the launch of a vaccination drive at the institution yesterday, SUA Vice Chancellor Prof Raphael Chibunda said the tripartite efforts are meant to end dependency on jabs from abroad.

Tanzania launched its national inoculation campaign a week ago after receiving the first batch of over one million doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine donated by the United States through the World Health Organization's Covax facility.

Prof Chibunda said the home-grown initiative which is in exploratory stages is meant to see Tanzania producing enough Covid-19 vaccines instead of relying on donations from other countries.

He said as for now, all vaccines that are being administered have been imported, but as the country’s intellectuals, and in their positions in the mentioned universities, have seen the need to embark on research to satisfy the country’s need for vaccines for Covid-19.

Following the delivery of vaccines to Morogoro Region, SUA submitted a request for establishing a vaccination centre there due to the big number of students – over 15,000 including 2,000 employees and academic staff members, many of whom are of advanced age.

He thanked the office of the Regional Commissioner and the Regional Medical Office for accepting the request, allocating them 500 doses that would be administered to people in the special priority groups.

Prof Chibunda said he believes the small number of doses allocated will be increased as days go by, urging the university community to disregard what was being circulated in the social media.

Dr Omary Kasuwi, heart diseases specialist and doctor in charge at SUA, thanked the government for the allocated doses as this will reduce challenges faced by members of SUA community seeking treatment at the hospital.
