On June 12, 2023, Air France will launch a new route from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, as a continuation of its Zanzibar service.
The flight will be operated three times a week by a B787-9, equipped with 30 seats in business class, 21 in premium economy and 225 in economy class.
Economic capital of Tanzania
As the country’s economic hub, this cosmopolitan city is the main gateway to Tanzania and has built a reputation in the arts and gastronomy.
Dar es Salaam is also served by KLM, with a daily flight departing from Amsterdam, and as a continuation of the service to Zanzibar on Thursdays and Sundays.
