British Airways returns to Tanzania after 13-year absence

Saturday, 19 September 2026, 06:32 · 1 min read

British Airways has announced it will resume flights to Tanzania in May 2027, more than a decade after it discontinued its London–Dar es Salaam service. The UK flag carrier will operate three weekly flights from London Gatwick to Kilimanjaro International Airport — the gateway to the Serengeti and its famous Great Migration — continuing onward to the island of Zanzibar, known for its beaches and cultural heritage. The return signals renewed confidence in Tanzania's tourism sector and expands British Airways' African network, which will also see additional Cape Town flights beginning in March 2026.
