Tanzania's Flightlink has had a busy year, regularly moving tourists around the continent of Africa. “We believe and hope the trend continues with most of the countries easing travel restrictions,” says MD Munawer Pyarali Dhirani.

The company operates two Embraer 120s, two Cessna Caravans, a Beechcraft 1900, a Cessna 206H and a Citation V. It carried out plenty of medevac missions over the last 18 months of the COVID crisis. Dhirani continues: “We have good financiers who believed in us and worked with us to give us up to a year of relief. We have loyal employees who agreed for a temporary pay cut. This helped us enormously.

“We hope that the pandemic eases and travel trend continues. We will invest in niche routes and find ways of cutting carbon emissions to save the world.”
