Air Tanzania Company Limited (ATCL) is the flag carrier and national airline of Tanzania, wholly owned by the Tanzanian government. Originally founded in 1977 following the dissolution of East African Airways, the airline has undergone several restructuring phases over the decades to remain operational. After a period of financial difficulties and reduced operations, Air Tanzania was revived in 2016 under a government-led recapitalization program. New aircraft acquisitions, including modern jets, helped the airline restore both domestic and international routes. The airline operates scheduled passenger services to destinations within Tanzania, across Africa, and to select intercontinental routes. Its main hub is Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam, and it plays a central role in connecting Tanzania's major cities and tourist destinations.
