    Dar es Salaam, East Africa's largest city and regional economic center, is the gateway to major tourist attractions and an important center of trade.

    South Africa already accounts for a large share of foreign direct investment in Tanzania, with active trade in agricultural products, precious metals, chemicals and machinery.

    Lamola said the relaunch is in line with SAA's broader strategy to strengthen its presence across Africa.

    “SAA's regional networks have emerged as top performers and contribute significantly to SAA Group's revenues. More importantly, these regional connections are critical to South Africa's broader economic growth,” he said. said.

    Flight schedule details

    Daily flights depart from Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport at 10pm (SAST) and arrive at Dar es Salaam's Julius Nyerere International Airport at 2:30am (EAT).

    The return flight will depart from Dar es Salaam at 5:10am (EAT) and arrive in Johannesburg at 7:55am (SAST). Tanzania runs one hour earlier than South Africa.

    Schedules are created to accommodate both point-to-point and connecting passengers, ensuring flexibility and convenience for travelers.
