Air Tanzania’s woes never seem to end, as the country’s civil aviation authority last week demanded payment of a year’s worth of outstanding bills and fees owed to them. The request for payment was made by the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA) directly to government, while also pointing out that fuel, handling, and other charges had been settled through governmental grants to the financially-starved airline, yet TCAA’s fees for parking, landing, and navigational fees, among others, have accrued beyond reason.

O lo'o faia nei e le TCAA se faasologa o fa'aleleia i malae va'alele ma malae va'alele i luga o le atunu'u ma tulaga maualuga, ma na ta'u atu e se punavai i Dar es Salaam i lenei tusitala o le ATCL e totogi, e tele lava ina alu i nei galuega ma totogi ai isi tupe fa'aalu. . Fai mai foi le tala, e le taumate o le a taofia e le TCAA le Air Tanzania ona o le le totogiina o pili i se taimi lata mai, ae o se filifiliga e fai ma auala mulimuli e faamalosia ai le kamupani e totogi pe totogi e le malo mo latou.

O le ATCL talu ai nei na leiloa ai se B737-200 i le tulaueleele i Mwanza, ma atili ai ona aafia ai galuega i totonu o le atunuu, e ui ina ua faamautu mai e faapea o le a vave ona lisiina atu se isi B737 e sui ai le vaalele ua faaleagaina, lea e tusa ai ma se lipoti na faila iinei i le vaiaso talu ai o le a tusi ese.
