Flights to Arusha and Mtwara were originally scheduled to have begun in November 2012, though no reason was given for their deferment.
According to the Aviation Tanzania blog, the resumption of the Dar Es Salaam - Mtwara flights is "part of ATCL's promise of aggressive expansion which will see the airline extending its wings to destinations not covered at the moment." Currently, Precision Air(PW) operates an 11x weekly service to the Indian Ocean city.
