Indiza yakwa-Air Tanzania i-TC 209 ibisizothatha uhambo lwamahora amathathu oluya e-Tanzania lwemizuzu engu-3, lapho iziphathimandla zaseNingizimu Afrika zigibela i-Airbus A15-220 zashaqa ibhanoyi lashiya umgibeli esesele dengwane.

I-Air Tanzania ikhiphe lesi sitatimende: Makhasimende Athandekayo, Ngenxa yesimo esingalindelekile, i-Air Tanzania izisola kakhulu ngokunazisa ukuthi silindele ukulungiswa kwezikhathi zezindiza. Siyaxolisa kakhulu ngakho konke ukuphazamiseka okungabangelwa yizinhlelo zakho zokuhamba.

Ukusukela emuva ngoMashi 11, 1977, i-Air Tanzania Corporation yaqalwa njengebhanoyi likazwelonke lale ndawo eseMpumalanga ne-Afrika. Kwenzeka lokhu ngemuva kokuhlukaniswa kwe-East African Airways Njengoba uhulumeni wakhe omusha esekhona, uMengameli uJohn Magufuli wafunga wagomela ukuthi uzobuyisa inkampani yezindiza. NgoMeyi 2016, uhulumeni wamemezela izinhlelo zokuthenga izindiza ezimbili ngonyaka wezi-2016 nezindiza ezimbili ezengeziwe ngonyaka wezi-2017.

NgoMeyi 1991, i-Air Tanzania yaqala ukusebenza ngeBoeing 767-200ER eyaqashiswa kwa-Ethiopian Airlines, kodwa le ndiza yabonakala ukuthi yayinkulu kakhulu futhi yabuyiselwa kumqashi ngoFebhuwari 1992. Inkampani yezindiza yabika inzuzo engu-US $ 650,000 ngo-1994.

Abakwa-South African Airways (SAA) bathenga isabelo samaphesenti angama-49 ku-Air Tanzania ngoDisemba 2002 ngama-US $ 20 million. $ 10 million kwakuyinani lamasheya kahulumeni, kanti amanye amaRandi ayizigidi eziyishumi ayesele weCapital and Training Account yokuxhasa uhlelo lwebhizinisi oluhlongozwayo lwe-Air Tanzania.

Njengozakwethu osebenzisana naye kwezamasu, i-SAA ihlele ukwakha indawo yayo eseMpumalanga ye-Afrika eDar es Salaam ukwakha "iGolden Triangle" phakathi kweningizimu, empumalanga, nentshonalanga ye-Afrika. Futhi behlose ukufaka esikhundleni izimoto zika-ATCL nge-Boeing 737-800s, 737-200s, kanye nama-767-300s. Iphinde yahlela ukwethula imizila yesifunda, kubandakanya nemizila eya eMiddle East naseNtshonalanga Afrika. Uhulumeni bekulindeleke ukuthi athengise amaphesenti ayi-10 wamaphesenti angama-51 kumtshalizimali ozimele waseTanzania, ngaleyo ndlela anciphise ubunikazi bukahulumeni kunzalo engalawulwa kwi-ATCL.

Inkampani entsha yezindiza i-Air Tanzania yethulwa ngomhlaka 31 Mashi 2003, inikela ngezindiza eziqonde ngqo phakathi kweGoli neDar es Salaam, kepha naseZanzibar naseKilimanjaro.

I-Air Tanzania kurekhodwe ukulahleka kwangaphambi kwentela okucishe kube ama-US $ 7.3 wezigidi ngonyaka wayo wokuqala kulandela ukwenziwa ngasese. Ukulahleka kubangelwe ikakhulu ukungakwazi ukukhulisa inethiwekhi ngokushesha nangokubanzi njengoba bekuhleliwe ekuqaleni. Bekunethemba lokuthi bazokwethula izinsizakalo eDubai, India nase-Europe, kepha lokhu kwabambezeleka njengoba i-Air Tanzania yayinamaBoeing 737-200s kuphela emikhunjini yayo. Ukuthuthuka kweDar es Salaam njengesizinda seMpumalanga ne-Afrika kumfelandawonye weSAA nakho bekungaqhubanga ngokushesha njengoba bekuhleliwe.

Ngemuva kokuthi ubudlelwano phakathi kwe-Air Tanzania kanye ne-South African Airways (SAA) bumiswe ngokusemthethweni, uhulumeni waseTanzania wabeka eceleni ama-TZS 13 billion ukuze i-Air Tanzania iqale ukusebenzisa isitoko sayo samathikithi (inombolo 197) esikhundleni sesitokwe se-SAA (inombolo 083), ukushintsha amasistimu emali engenayo kanye nezinsiza zikaphethiloli, ukulungiselela amasethingi e-e kanye nama-akhawunti, kusetshenziswa uphawu lwentengiso olusha, nokusula izikweletu ezisasele. UMongameli uJakaya Kikwete uqoke uMustafa Nyang'anyi, usopolitiki osemnkantshubomvu futhi oyinxusa lenxusa, njengosihlalo webhodi, nowayengumqondisi jikelele weParastatal Pensions Fund uDavid Mattaka njengomqondisi ophethe kanye nesikhulu esiphezulu.

Zombili lezi zinkampani zezindiza kubikwe ukuthi bezifuna ozakwethu abanobuhlakani bokuxhasa imisebenzi yabo, ebikade yehla eminyakeni eyishumi edlule.

Kusuka ngonyaka wezi-2011 kuya kowezi-2015 inkampani yezindiza ibisenkingeni yokwehla njalo, lapho ibhanoyi livala ukusebenza kaningi ngenxa yokushoda kwezindiza. I-Air Tanzania yasungulwa ngempumelelo ngoMashi 2011.

Ngo-2016 futhi sekukhona uhulumeni omusha, uMengameli waseTanzania uJohn Magufuli wafunga wagomela ukuthi uzobuyisa inkampani yezindiza. NgoMeyi 2016, uhulumeni wamemezela izinhlelo zokuthenga izindiza ezimbili ngonyaka wezi-2016 nezindiza ezimbili ezengeziwe ngonyaka wezi-2017.^[ Ngomhlaka 15 Septhemba 2016, umongameli waqoka uLadislaus Matindi njengomqondisi-jikelele we-Air Tanzania Company Limited.
