A German airline, which currently flies twice a week between Frankfurt and Zanzibar, plans to increase the number of frequencies to three. The move, according to Condor Airlines’ head of sales international markets, Carsten Sasse, necessitated by a rise in demand for its services, will become effective from November, this year.

A German airline, which currently flies twice a week between Frankfurt and Zanzibar, plans to increase the number of frequencies to three. The move, according to Condor Airlines’ head of sales international markets, Carsten Sasse, necessitated by a rise in demand for its services, will become effective from November, this year.

Currently, the airline lands at Zanzibar’s Abeid Amani Karume International Airport – using its 310-seater Airbus A330NEO – but  Sasse was of the view that should then market sentiments be more encouraging, they will not hesitate to seek new routes in Tanzania.

The landing in Zanzibar, he said, was informed by the type of passengers they carry, who are mostly tourists, Sasse said during a breakfast meeting with travel agents recently, noting however that they have entered into a deal with Tanzania’s Precision Air which will ferry their passengers from Dar es Salaam to the Isles.

According to a representative of Condor Airline in Tanzania who doubles as its country sales manager, Mr Paul Mzengela, the availability of direct flights between Germany and Zanzibar means that passengers will no longer be required to travel to Nairobi in Kenya, Addis Ababa in Ethiopia or Doha in Qatar to connect to Germany.
